The Support Generator modules

There are two types of Support Generator modules in Kong, one for generating noise and another one for generating a tone. The Support Generator modules can be used as companions to any of the Drum modules, or stand-alone. The Support Generators can be loaded into the FX1 and/or FX2 slots.

Note that only two pre-defined parameters per Support Generator module can be automated!

Noise Generator

•	Hit Type buttons

These buttons allow you to choose for which Hit Type(s) the Noise generator should be active. By default, the Noise generator is active for all Hit Types (see “Assigning Hit Type to Pads”).

•

Pitch

This sets the center pitch of the noise.

•

Attack

This sets the attack time of the noise.

•

Decay

This sets the decay time of the noise.

•

Reso

This sets the resonance amount of the noise around the center pitch.

•

Sweep

This sets the upper start pitch of the sweep range. The Sweep range is also affected by velocity.

•

Click

This sets the level of the click in the attack of the noise.

•

Level

This sets the overall level of the Noise generator. The level is also affected by velocity.

Tone Generator

•	Hit Type buttons

These buttons allow you to choose for which Hit Type(s) the Tone generator should be active. By default, the Tone generator is active for all Hit Types (see “Assigning Hit Type to Pads”).

•

Pitch

This sets the pitch of the oscillator.

•

Attack

This sets the attack time of the tone.

•

Decay

This sets the decay time of the tone.

•	Bend Decay

This sets the decay time for the Bend.

•

Bend

This sets the upper start pitch of the bend range. The Bend range is also affected by velocity.

•

Shape

This sets the tonal character of the sound, from less to more harmonics.

•

Level

This sets the overall level of the Tone generator. The level is also affected by velocity.
