The Decompose function allows you to split your samples into their noise and tonal components.
DrumGAN Drum Resynthesis
DrumGAN allows you to create your own drum sounds, modify existing sounds, or create variations of drum sounds.
Editing Layers
The sounds in Backbone are made up of up to eight layers. Each layer contributes a specific detail of the sound, for example, the tonal and noise components of a drum sound. You can adjust and modify the sound of each layer extensively in the edit section.

- Load Panel
  The Load panel allows you to manage, navigate to, load, and preview different file types.
- File Management with the Programs and Layers Tabs of the Load Panel
  The Programs and Layers tabs give you access to the available programs and layers. They are based on Steinberg’s MediaBay technology, that is, they allow you to filter the results and find specific files quickly.
- File Management with the Browser Tab of the Load Panel
  With the Browser, you can navigate to specific directories on your system and load files from there.
