Using the Drumsynths

Drumsynths are a powerful set of monophonic Internal Instrument Plug-ins (i.e. Instrument
Plug-ins included with MASCHINE) that allow you to generate individual, fine-tuned drum
sounds for your music productions. Like any other Instrument Plug-in, you can load them only
in the first Plug-in slot of Sounds.
Drumsynths have been designed for extreme playability, both from the high-quality pads of
your MASCHINE controller and from any velocity-sensitive MIDI keyboard. They allow you to
quickly build custom drum sounds and give you full control over the characteristics of the vari-
ous drums 4 don9t hesitate to tweak them during your live performance or automate them like
any other Plug-in!
