Chapter 2: Diving Deeper

A comprehensive look at the instruments included in EW DrumX, and a breakdown of the parameters available to control the sound.

2.1.0 DrumX Instruments

Over 400 instruments across six categories: groove-loaded Jimmy Jam Kits, per-machine DX Kits, DX Layers that put one drum type’s 10 machine variations on a single switchable pad, DX Stacks for massive layered hits, DX Pitched for melodic playing, and DX All Kits composites. Includes a complete instrument reference and detailed breakdown of every drum machine’s sounds and parameters.

2.2.0 DrumX Controls

A custom user interface puts an array of controls at your fingertips — from the 16-pad grid and step sequencer to the Pad Inspector’s deep sound-shaping tools, tape saturation selector, professional effects chain, and Groove Browser.
