ATTACK

 

adds a short fixed needle impulse to the sound’s start. This will support the bass 

drums’ assertiveness. Set 

ATTACK

 while judging the complete mix. What might 

appear too intrusive when being soloed might already sound too gentle within a 
full mix. We recommend adding a little 

ATTACK

 even to soft bass drums.

NOISE

 

adds a short fixed noise to the sound’s start. This imitates the noise of the bea

-

ter hitting an acoustic bass drum. Like 

ATTACK

, adjust 

NOISE

 while judging the 

complete mix. What might appear too intrusive when being soloed might already 
sound too gentle within a full mix.

WAVE

 

is a mix control that seamlessly blends a sine waveform into a rectangular shape. 

Here, the sound changes from soft to hard. Within the first half of the control’s 

range, the sound receives additional rawness and depth. At higher values, the 
sound will start to overdrive and distort.

BALLS

 

is a sound control that enhances the bass frequencies as well as higher frequen-
cies in a certain proportion. Simply put: 

BALLS

 makes your bass drum PHAT. We 

recommend using this control with caution. Te human ear easily adapts to this 
sound and we might tend to turn BALLS higher and higher.

VOLUME

 

controls the output level of KICK LANCET.
