MFB | 503

Description

The MFB-503 is a drum-computer that offers five editable instruments. Bass Drum, Snare
Drum and Toms work fully analogue while Cymbal and Hihat each rely on two sampled
waveforms. All instrument’s editable parameters are stored within a respective pattern. In
addition, the MFB-503 offers 90 memory locations for user-defined drum-kits. Up to 90
programmable patterns are also available, with a length of one or two bars each. Finally,
these patterns can be chained to form up to 90 songs.

Velocity As with a piano, the harder you hit a key, the louder the sound, unlike most organs which always produce the same loudness no matter how hard you hit a key. Aftertouch Pressing a key after you activated it. Channel Aftertouch, no matter which key, it will send a Channel message. Poly Aftertouch, sends the pressure per key instead of the whole channel.
Values for OSC, LFO, Filter, Envelope are per voice unless stated otherwise.
