GROOVES

its variations to the value represented in the GRID subdivision.
Higher values lead to a "perfect-machine"feel while lower values
lead to more "sloppy" feel.
SWING makes exactly what it's name says.Higher values lead to
more swing feel while lower values achieve the opposite.
Finally the TEMPO buttons at the right side allow to change the
speed to half or double while NORMAL plays the groove as it is.

EFFECTS
SOLID G-EQ
TRANSIENT MASTER
Using the TRANSIENT MASTER you can alter your Drum sound
in two ways.
With the ATTACK knob you can make your sound harder and
more wild as you increase and with the SUSTAIN you can make it
bigger and more open.
Decreasing we have the opposite results.
The OUTPUT knob on the right side controls the overall volume.
We can switch TRANSIENT MASTER on and off clicking the
POWER button.
SOLID BUS COMP
With the SOLID BUS COMP you can add power to your drums in a
very musical way without making your sound dirty and squashed.
The ATTACK knob adjusts the time in ms that it takes for
compressor to react.
The RELEASE knob adjusts the time in ms that it takes for the
compressor to stop affecting the sound after the input falls below
the threshold.
The THRESHOLD knob sets the exact level that the input signal
must exeed in order to begin the compression.
The RATIO knob determines how compressed will be the result.
Higher values lead to more compressed sound.Using the MIX
knob you can add dry signal to your sound giving you the access
to parallel compression.
With the MAKE UP knob you can increase the level of the
compressed sound.
The OUTPUT knob adjusts the overall volume.
You can switch SOLID BUS COMP on and off by clicking the
POWER button.
TAPE SATURATOR
With the TAPE SATURATOR you can give to your sound the
analog feel.
Using the WARMTH knob and rolling off hi frequencies with the HF
knob we have that analog vibe.
MATRIX
We can use the value edits at the bottom of every bus for precise
control,by double clicking and entering the desired value.
