Randomize Settings - Native Instruments Studio Drummer User Manual

Please keep in mind that every e-drum setup is different, and almost every drum kit has
some particularities to it. Therefore the mapping presets will not fully match your e-drum
setup without any adjustments. These mapping presets have been included to provide you
with the best possible starting point. You can make additional changes to these mappings
and save a new preset to fit your e-drum needs.

RANDOMIZE Settings

The controls in the RANDOMIZE
sound output. The higher the value of a knob, the higher the range of randomization for
the relevant control. The randomized parameters are:
▪ VOLUME: The volume level of the played drum increases or decreases by a random
amount with each hit.
▪ VELOCITY: The velocity of the played drum will increase or decrease slightly, which can
trigger different samples above or below the one at the original velocity.
▪ TIME: This will add a slight random amount of delay to each hit.
▪ PITCH: The pitch of the played drum will be higher or lower by a slight amount with
each hit.
▪ TONE: This will slightly change the frequency curve of each hit. Different drums have
different frequency ranges, specific to the sound of each drum.
A good way to add even more subtle variation to the sounds in the kit is to change the ran­
domization parameters just slightly, especially the PITCH,
knobs, turning them a maximum of a quarter of the way up will allow the effect to remain
subtle. Turning these knobs up to a high value can be used for a more experimental sound.
area add custom levels of humanization and variation in the
TONE and VOLUME knobs. For all
