Installation limitations and existing instructionsGet started
- Try Foundation for drum shaping. Drive, Compression, Punch and Body shape the signal; Low Protect and Attack Keep separately protect the low-frequency difference and onsets. Begin with quiet monitoring and adjust Output when comparing settings.
- Glitch Layer Off disables only the fragments; drum shaping still works. Try Stutter Fill and hold/release Fill. Release it before leaving; Escape or focus loss also releases it. New Pattern edits the exact seed rather than randomly choosing one.
