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.
