Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

017 synthesized percussion instruments (Bass drum, Snare, Low tom, High tom, Open hihat, Closed hihat, Cymbal)
02Dual FX Bus chains with 5 effect slots each (reorderable, swappable between buses)
03Per-instrument channel strips with Filter/EQ, Compressor, and routing controls
04Master effect chain with 3-band Multiband Compressor and Limiter
0516 stereo audio outputs with independent routing and level control
06FX algorithms: Distortion (with crossover and Diode clipper), Parametric EQ (4-band), Delay (tempo-sync, multi-mode filter feedback), Reverb (Early/Late reflections), Chorus (double-line with feedback), Bitcrusher (with dither and approximation filter), Dynamics (Compressor and VCA amplitude shaper), Filter (multi-mode with LFO/envelope modulation)

Things to Try

  • 01Use the Tap mode to record live drum steps by pressing pad upper halves for Accented notes or lower halves for Normal steps, with velocity >64 on MIDI keyboard registering as Accented
  • 02Route individual drum instruments to different bus slots to bypass earlier effects; for example, set Bus Slot to 2 to skip the first FX in the chain and process through effects 2–5
  • 03Enable Pre Level in Bus Send to decouple the send amount from the Audio Out Level, allowing independent control of instrument level and bus send level
  • 04Set the Distortion Crossover gap to a positive value to create separation between lower and higher bands, then adjust Clipper Threshold and Preamp for controlled harmonic distortion on specific frequency ranges
