multiplier curve is a dynamic combination of a hold feature (multiplier = 1) and the tail with decreas-
ing factors for longer time frames. This complex relationship is fixed and not editable in its parame-
ters. The illustration above gives an idea, how the Release feature shapes the amplitude of a sample
in relation to the fader position. Curves shown are optimized for visualization purposes and don´t
claim to be exact.
9.3.3 SECOND SOUND EDIT
With Second Sound Edit you can layer a secondary sound on top of a pad component. An exam-
ple would be layering tambourine jingles on top of a Hi-Hat to simulate a jingle ring mounted on the
Hi-Hat rod. This option will affect the currently selected pad (check Module 1 ➔ Input Channel) and the
active component in module 2 (Head, Rim etc.). All dials and options of this function set work in the
same fashion as described in Section 9.3.2 Sound Edit. Once you are happy with the result, save the
active drum kit before moving on.
9.3.3.1 VOLUME SECOND SOUND
While the volume of adjustments under Sound Edit is driven by the Pad Mixer (Performance ➔ Module 2
➔ Mixer), the layered second sound is driven by its own volume dial to adjust the volume in relation
to the main sound of the component. The set relationship of the mix is then globally adjusted by the
Mixer.
9.3.3.2 TUNING
This function set is equipped with the same functionalities for tuning as the function set Sound Edit
(See 9.3.2.1 Tuning Coarse and 9.3.2.2 Tuning Fine on Page 53).
9.3.3.3 SECOND SOUND SELECT
Here, you determine the second sound sample to be assigned as well as its state when loading the
drum kit (ON/OFF). That is to say that you can determine all qualities of the second sound and turn
the second sound feature off before saving the kit, so that adjustments can be preconfigured and
turned on quickly if desired. The Second Sound Browser contains all factory sounds. You can treat it
as the Sound Browser with the difference that sound grouping and imported sounds are not availa-
ble for layering (see also section 9.2.1.4 Sound Browser – Properties on page 41).
