Kit Piece Tone and Effect Smart Controls
The Smart Controls pane shows parameters you can apply to either all sounds within the
kit, or to an individual kit piece. The parameters discussed in this section are specific to kit
pieces.
To view kit piece tone and effect parameters in the Smart Controls pane, click the Pad
Controls button in the pad controls barbelow the grid. If the Smart Controls pane is not
visible, click the disclosure triangle at the lower left of the grid.
To learn more about tone and effect Smart Controls that affect all kits, see Kit Tone and
Effect Smart Controls.

Quick Sampler overview and Drum Synth overview for details on editing parameters that
you can view in the lower portion of the Drum Machine Designer interface.
Kit Piece Tone and Effect Smart Controls parameters
Given the huge number of Library kit piece patches, this list of parameters covers only the
most frequently used kit piece tone and effect controls.
Attack knob: Set the length of the attack phase of the sound.
Body knob: Alter the depth of the sound, making it fuller and richer.
Bottom knob: Set the amount of low-end enhancement. This behaves like a bass control
found on a guitar amplifier.
Color knob: Set the tonal color of the sound.
Crush knob: Reduce the overall bit resolution of the kit piece. Bit crushing introduces a
lo-fi, gritty quality to the sound.
Decay knob: Set the length of the decay phase of the sound.
Delay knob: Set the amount of delay effect added to the sound.
Dirt knob: Add grit and fizz to the sound.
Distortion knob: Add a warm tube-like or digital distortion to the sound.
Envelope knob: Apply and set the intensity of a preset envelope shape to the sound.
Hi Cut knob: Set the high cut filter frequency. The sound is attenuated above this
frequency.
Length knob: Use to alter the sustain, decay, or release phase of the sound.
Lo Cut knob: Set the low cut filter frequency. The sound is attenuated below this
frequency.
