Type 5: 43 Req Double-size algorithms This section explains the double-size algorithms that have been added on the A5 BASS ORIENTAL. Three algorithm types and a total of nine algorithms have been added. These algorithms have particularly high settings for sensor sensitivity. In some cases, the A5 BASS ORIENTAL might sympathetically resonate with another instrument, causing feedback or unintentionally triggering the drum sound. You may be able to mitigate such problems by adjusting the hd8: Sensitivity parameter, or by moving the A5 BASS to another location in the room. Parameter#: Parameter Name Value Min. . . Max This algorithm is appropriate for single-skinned hand percussion with attached jingles, such as the Req (tambourine). hd1: Switching 000. . . 100 This parameter specifies the mix between the two PCM instruments that are switched according to the tone or position of your strike.

With a setting of 0, they will have the same volume. Negative (-) settings make PCM1 louder, and positive (+) settings make PCM2 louder. hd5: Slap Level 000. . . 100 This parameter adjusts the volume level of the slap sound. hd6: Slap Decay 000. . . 100 This parameter adjusts the decay time of the slap sound. Fifty added PCM instruments Fifty new types of head and rim PCM instruments have been added, centered mainly on Middle Eastern percussion instruments.
