0 %.
Description
Adjusts the amount of pitch envelope applied throughout the sound duration,
measured as a percentage. Available values range from 0.0 to 100.0 % (de-
fault: 6.8 %). Low values give a more gentle sound. As Bend is increased, the
kick becomes more punchy; at higher values, the pitch envelope is more clearly
audible as an actual pitch bend.
Adjusts the amount of attack. Available values range from 0.0 % (soft attack)
to 100 % (maximum attack). The default value is 75.0 %.
Description
Adjusts the distortion gain, measured as a percentage. Available values range
from 0.0 to 100.0 % (default: 70.0 %). Increase
drum sound.
Adjusts the color of the distortion, measured as a percentage. Available values
range from 0.0 to 100.0 % (default: 25.0 %).
Adjusts the timbre of the distortion, measured as a percentage. Available val-
ues range from 0.0 to 100.0 % (default: 50.0 %). At zero, the distortion is
symmetrical and introduces mostly odd harmonics. As the
creased, the distortion becomes more asymmetric and more even harmonics
are introduced, resulting in a different tonality, especially at more subtle
settings.
Adjusts the mix between the clean and distorted signal, measured as a percent-
age. Available values range from 0.0 to 100.0 % (default: 50.0 %). At zero,
none of the distorted drum will be heard. At 100.0 %, only the distorted drum
will be heard.
