Operation Manual
The Decompose function allows you to split your samples into their noise and tonal components.
DrumGAN allows you to create your own drum sounds, modify existing sounds, or create variations of drum sounds.
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.
You can manage your files using the Load panel.
You can load and edit effects and set up the effect routing in the Effects section.
This high-quality 4-band parametric equalizer allows you to shape the tone color, to create a brighter or darker sound, for example. All bands are fully parametric with adjustable Gain, Frequency, and Quality parameters. Furthermore, you can add a high-cut and a low-cut filter and edit their settings.
This equalizer contains ten frequency bands that can be cut or boosted by up to 12 dB.
DJ EQ is an easy-to-use 3-band equalizer that resembles the EQs found on typical DJ mixers. This is useful for quick sound fixes.
The Dynamics submenu contains the compressor and limiter effects.
The Distortion submenu contains the distortion effects.
The Modulation submenu contains the modulation effects, such as Chorus, Flanger, etc.
The Pan submenu contains the panorama effect Stereo Pan.
The Time submenu contains the delay and reverb effects.
You can automate most of the Backbone parameters from within your host application, whether these are parameters of a layer or global effect parameters.
Backbone allows you to assign almost any parameter to a MIDI controller.
