Native Instruments Maschine User Manual

All Drumsynths share the same parameter organization in the Control area.
▪ Their parameters are grouped into the same three Parameter pages:
◦ The Main page groups the most important parameters for each drum type. Here you
can select the engine to be used, the tuning, the decay, etc.
◦ The Advanced page provides access to more complex and finer adjustments to the
drum sounds.
◦ The Modulation page allows to adjust the playability of the drum by setting its velocity
response.
▪ The Main page always starts with a MAIN section. The other sections on the page differ with
each Drumsynth and engine.
