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.
3.4.3 RANDOMIZE Settings
 
The controls in the RANDOMIZE area add custom levels of humanization and variation in the 
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,  TONE  and  VOLUME  knobs.  For  all 
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.
