Vol/Pan
Vol Range: -50 to +14 dB
Determines the volume of each drum voice. Since Env3 is permanently routed to the volume of
the voice, this parameter could be thought of as Amp Envelope Amount.
Values above +00 dB are intended to let you compensate for the effects of heavy filtering or
enveloping, and for the fact that some waves simply have less apparent loudness than others.
For example, a percussion sample, which is by nature a quick peak, has less energy than a
sustaining square wave. A higher Vol setting lets you raise the level of such waves to equal that
of “louder” waves.
Warning:
We strongly recommend against setting Vol levels above +00 to all the
waves in your sounds just to make them louder — doing so can result in
clipping (distorting) when you play more than one or two notes.
Pan Range: -98 (panned left) to +98 (panned right)
Pans the voice within the stereo mix. A value of +00 centers the voice.
