Featured Controls
Smash
- Smash is based on several FET style compressors. This side of the compressor helps to give your drums length, weight and size. Perfect for snares, rooms, and your parallel bus.
Grab
- Grab is based on several VCA style compressors. This side of the compressor helps to give your drums impact, and attack. Great for shaping kicks, toms and controlling overheads.
Drum Type
- The drum type knob is a very simple yet powerful control. Each drum is optimized for it's particular style, taking the headache out of finding the right settings, compressor, EQ points and more!
Beef
- The beef control is a pre-compressor EQ, used to add a little more weight to your drums. The EQ points change in relation to the drum type selected.
Air
- The air control is a post-compressor EQ, used to add clarity and sheen. The EQ points change in relation to the drum type selected.
Saturation
- The saturation control is extremely versatile, allowing for soft clipping, to pure distortion. Great for shaping your drums, and helping them cut through the mix.
