The three specific percussion sounds in this section are easily recognisable from their
names. As the original TR808 and TR909 only had a Level control for these sounds no
dynamic sound changes could be made. As the DrumStation uses samples for these sounds
a Tune control has been added into this section to give the sounds greater dynamic scope.
Level - Rotary
This knob controls the volume of the Rim Shot, Handclap and Cowbell on both the stereo
and individual outputs. When assigned to the stereo outputs this knob allows you to set the
relative level of these sounds in the “mix”.
Tune - Rotary
This knob allows you to change the pitch of each of the sounds in this section. Turn anti-clockwise and the pitch will be low-
ered, clockwise and the pitch is raised.
NOTE: This control was not featured on the TR808/909. To re-produce the original pitch setting of the TR808/909 sounds,
always set this knob to the 12 o’clock position.
Select - Switch
This switch selects which of the three sounds will be edited by the Level and Tune knobs.
NOTE: Each of the three sounds has it’s own individual MIDI Controller information so when recording via MIDI always
check that this switch is pointing to the sound you want to change. When playing back via MIDI, the position of this switch
is irrelevant. i.e all the controls can be manipulated simultaneously via MIDI - see the ‘Controller Map’ section on page 42.
