10.1 Drumsynths – General Handling
 
This section describes the general use and features of the Drumsynths.
Managing Drumsynths
Drumsynths are MASCHINE Plug-ins and, as such, they support all usual Plug-in actions and
procedures.  Hence,  to  know  how  to  load,  remove,  replace,  insert,  move,  copy/paste  Drum-
synths, as well as how to adjust the Drumsynth parameters and load/save presets, please refer
to section ↑6.1, Plug-in Overview, where these are described in detail.
10.1.1 Engines: Many Different Drums per Drumsynth
 
Each of the available Drumsynths (Kick, Snare, Hi-hat, Tom, and Percussion) actually provides
many different drums: Indeed, each Drumsynth allows you to select a particular engine for gen-
erating the drum sound. In the same Drumsynth each engine will have its own algorithm, pa-
rameters, and sonic characteristics — it is in fact an entirely distinct drum. For example, the
Kick  provides  eight  different  engines!  Some  engines  will  create  acoustic  drums  while  others
will rather produce electronic sounds.
In  each  Drumsynth  the  first  parameter  (Engine)  lets  you  select  the  engine  you  want  to  use.
Most of the other parameters will depend on the selected engine.
10.1.2 Common Parameter Organization
 
All Drumsynths have a similar parameter organization, both in the Control area of the Arrange
view and in the Plug-in Strip of the Mix view.
Common Parameter Pages in the Control Area (Arrange View)
In Arrange view, the parameters of all Drumsynths are grouped in similar ways in the Control
area:
