corresponding sound. For example, for "Thunderstorm", this sets the frequency of the

"Random" produces randomly placed settings, and the "Auto" parameter switches on
automation of the individual parameters.
BeatBox 2
BeatBox 2 is a 16-voice pattern-based drum computer with hybrid sound synthesis and a
step sequencer. The handling includes a multi-effects section (one effect per drum
instrument), auto copy, and a convenient velocity editing function.
A drum sound is created in BeatBox 2 using a sample, which is combined with a synthetic
sound that can be created using up to three different synthesis models (hybrid sound
synthesis). BeatBox 2 also enables detailed editing and automation of all sound
parameters.
BeatBox 2's interface uses two states. 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.
1. Volume controller: Controls the volume.
2. Peak meter and preset name: The peak meter lets you visually control BeatBox 2.
Click on the triangle beside the preset name to open the preset list.
3. Next/Previous preset
4. Save preset: The preset includes the drum kit in use, the pattern, and any possible
automations (see page 249).
5. Play/Stop: The playback controller in BeatBox 2 starts BeatBox solo, i.e. without
playing the arrangement.
