Page 2: Overview
Overview Specifications The DoubleDrummer is a 12-voice drum sound generator. It is divided into 4 main sections: The synthesis section This section features 6 different instruments: bass drum, snare drum, tom tom, clap, cowbell and hi hat. Each of these 6 instruments has been fine tuned to provide a wide range of sounds within a limited set of 6 parameters per instrument for the best possible user experience. -
Page 3: The Mixer
2 “AUX SEND” effects are available: delay and reverb. Each one of the 12 instruments can be setup to use either one or the other. A multi FX containing samplerate reduction, bitrate reduction and a 2-pole lowpass filter is available on the master bus. Audiothingies DoubleDrummer user manual... -
