pitch relationships between the six pads, using edit all mode.
enter EDIT ALL mode and use the sCl Pre function to select a scale
with the dial.
The pitches will begin at the set pitch on the lowest Channel and in-
crease with a factor determined by the selected scale.
If a scale has been used to set a pitch relationship, you can change the
pitch of one Channel without breaking the pitch relationship. This will
move all the other pitches until one of the pitches reaches the maximum,
or minimum pitch ("0" or "127.5").

SCL Pre is not a parameter as such and will not be stored
as one. It will act as a macro on the pitch settings of the
selected Channels.

ClICK ParameTers

The CLICK Part adds a sharp transient at the very
beginning of the sound, useful for giving a sense
of stick attack and sonic energy at the onset of a
drum hit.

LEVEL

The amplitude of the Click is set with the LEVEL parameter.
Range: 0 - 50

TYPE

TYPE provides a selection of different click types, each with its own
character.
Click Description
n 1-3 Noise waveforms with different characters.
P 1-3 short pulses.
H 1-3 High pass filtered, short pulses.
Clicks with
C1-3
acter.
Range: n1-3, P1-3, H1-3, C1-3

mIX ParameTers

NOISE LVL

NOISE LVL sets the volume of the Noise
Part.
Range: 0 - 50

TONE LVL

TONE LVL sets the volume of the Tone Part.
Range: 0 - 50
a pitched and somewhat "chirpy" char-

CH LEVEL

CH LEVEL sets the volume of the Channel being edited.
Range: 0 - 50

PAN

The PAN parameter sets the position of the Channel in the stereo pan-
orama from left to right. The C setting indicates that the Channel is
centered.
Range: L9 - C - r9

eQ aNd eFFeCTs ParameTers

EQ FREQ

every Channel has a parametric equalizer for boosting or cutting within
a frequency band, set by the EQ FREQ parameter. The equalizer has a
fixed bandwidth (Q value).
M If the EQ Gain parameter is set to 0, changing this parame-
ter will have no effect.
Range: 0-50

EQ GAIN

use the EQ GAIN control to boost or cut with up to +/- 24 dB at the
selected eQ frequency.

DIST

The DIST parameter adds distortion to the sound of the selected Chan-
nel.
Range: 0 - 50
TYPE
There are three distortion types. The tube amplifier style overdrive (dr)
applies a classic distortion effect, while the sample rate reduction (SA)
gives a retro lo-fi character. The ring modulation (rn) modulates the
output with a sinewave that can be set to different frequencies creating
anything from a subtle vibrato to a rich belltone.
Range: dr, SA, rn

RVB AMT

The RVB AMT parameter sets the level of the wet reverb signal, in rela-
