![]() There are some nice strings, basses and hits onboard though and the signal path is very quiet, meaning that if you load it up with your own kits and sounds they sound great when blasted back. Many suffer from clicky sample end points too. ![]() There's a good range of dirty/processed and clean kicks, snares hats, toms and other percussive sounds (over 3,000 individual hits) though on the whole the quality of the drums is better than the onboard instruments which often sound cheap and over processed. Sound-wise, the onboard kits and instruments are geared towards hip-hop production and there are some great patterns onboard. It's easy to sample one note and spin it out across several octaves using the keyspan feature. Instrument mode is the same as Kit mode but deals with pitched instruments mapped across the pads. The layers can be tweaked for volume, pan, pitch, velocity trigger level, one shot on/off, keyspan (note range) and more, though filter cutoff and resonance and the ADSR functions are per pad not per pad layer and filter type appears to be fixed in this mode to LPF, though can be changed on a per-track basis in pattern mode, under the 'mixer' menu.Įach pad can also have its own delay, reverb and 'freak' send level. You can assign up to 16 layers (sounds) to every pad, which gives you a lot of scope (plus 128-note polyphony). A 'Kit' is a set of preset/user or sampled drum sounds mapped to the pads. Strangely, there is no main front panel volume dial - all the volume options are sadly hidden under the volume menu, which disrupts workflow. ![]()
