Waldorf

Output

1...6

The Attack offers 6 stereophonic audio outputs. This parameter sets the audio output of

the selected sound. You can use this function to assign different effects or EQ settings to

sounds of a kit.
Please take into account that Delay 1 only appears on stereo output 1, and Delay 2

only on stereo output 2. Outputs 3 to 6 are always dry.

Volume

-

 dB...0 dB

Sets the output volume of the selected sound.

Vel (Velocity)

 -100%...100%

Specifies by how much volume will be affected by keyboard velocity. Use this feature

to give more expression to the sound. With a setting of 0, velocity will have no effect

on volume. For positive settings, the volume rises with higher velocities. This is the

most commonly used setting. With negative settings, the volume decreases at higher

velocities. This gives an aypical character suitable for effect sounds. The maximum vo-

lume is always set with the 

Volume

 parameter.

Pan (Panning)

100%L...Center...100%R

Determines the position in the stereo panorama. When the setting is to the left, the

sound is panned far left; when the setting is to the right, it is panned far right. If you

want to situate the sound in the middle of the stereo panorama, use the 

Center

 setting.

Because the delay effects are independent from the pan settings, the

higher the propor-

tion of delayed signal in your mix, the less pronounced the panning effect wil be.

Mix

100:0%...0:100%

This parameter controls the volume ratio between the original signal and the effect

output of the integrated delay effects. If set to 

100:0

, the dry signal is sent to the outputs

only, so that no effects can be heard. Higher values will increase the effect signal. At

the maximum setting, 

0:100

, the pure effected signal will be heard.

XOR Group

Off, 1, 2, 3

Assigns the selected instrument to one of the three XOR groups. When several

instruments of the same XOR group receive MIDI notes, the sounding instrument will

be muted by the succeeding one. Use this function to program realistic hi-hats,

especially if only the open or closed hat should be heard. This parameter can also be

used to create monophonic synth sounds. When you set the sync parameter in the filter

section to 

Off

 and assign different instruments to the same XOR group, the LFO stays in

sync nonetheless, since the same voice is always triggered.
