"Thunder", you can set how often thunder and lightning should sound; with
"Rain", the strength of the rain can be regulated (if moved to the far left, light
rain can be heard, while if moved to the far right, a downpour with loud
splashing noises is audible).
 At the bottom right border you will find a master volume fader with which the
master volume of the synthesizer can be set. Furthermore, the "Randomize"
setting is also located here. This way you can change the settings of the
control elements by yourself.
BeatBox 2 plus
Note: BeatBox 2 replaces the older BeatBox from previous versions and is not
compatible with them. Please read the notes for users of older Samplitude
11.5 Producer versions.
BeatBox 2 is a 16-voice drum computer with hybrid sound synthesis and a
step sequencer. The proven handling concepts of the "old" BeatBox like matrix
programming with auto copy have been expanded with comfortable editing of
velocities and significantly improved sound synthesis, including a multi-effects
section (one effect per drum instrument).
A drum sound is created in BeatBox 2 using a sample (analogously to the old
BeatBox) which is combined with a synthetic sound that can be created using
up to three different synthesis models (hybrid sound synthesis). BeatBox 2 plus
enables detailed editing and automation of all sound parameters.
There are two styles of interface in BeatBox 2. While closed, you can listen to
included sounds or those you've made in BeatBox 2 without using too much
window space.
Only the most important control elements are displayed when the program
window is minimized.
Volume controller: Controls the volume.
Peakmeter and preset name: The peakmeter lets you visually control
BeatBox 2. Click on the triangle beside the preset name to open the
preset list.
