Seven Snare Engines and Their Character

Each of the seven engines has its own sound design. Sloth is based on classic analogue rhythm box style snares with a snappy attack and a long decay. Gluttony is built around Foley samples to add depth and texture. Wrath covers old-school boom-bap snares, Lust produces water-type snares, Envy focuses on noise layers, Greed creates melodic snare types with reverb controls, and Pride offers an amplitude-curve based design with a tail you can shape.

Because each engine sounds different, you can choose the closest character as a starting point and then refine it.

Morphing and Macro Controls

Every engine includes three variations. In the morph section, you drag a pointer inside a triangle to move between three altered versions of the engine, which gives you a range of sounds from a single engine.

Each engine also has four macros designed to shape the sound quickly. The macro functions differ by engine. For Sloth, Macro A changes the noise to body FM amount, and Macros B, C and D adjust transient, decay and tone brightness. Use the macros for fast changes, then go deeper into the parameters when you need more precision.
