PunchAdjust · KeyTrk · VelTrk · Src (dB)

Impact raises or lowers the first 20 milliseconds of each note, up to 24 dB either way: punch for basses, drums and plucked sounds without touching the rest of the envelope. The factory puts it on Button 3.

WHAT TO KNOW

THE FIELDS

Adjust (−24 to +24 dB in 0.2 dB steps), KeyTrk (dB per key from C4), VelTrk (dB at full velocity), Src and Depth (dB at the source's top), on the AMP ENV page.

HOW KOACH RUNS IT

The rows add up in dB and hold for the note's first 20 ms, then stop at once.

USE IT FOR

A thump on a bass or a kick, a pick on a guitar, a hammer on a piano: a button that adds punch when the part needs it.

WATCH OUT

A +12 dB transient on a loud layer can clip: check the peak after raising it. On a slow attack the first 20 ms are quiet anyway, and Impact barely shows.

IN THE FACTORY PROGRAMS

5489 factory layers set Impact: 4857 on Button 3, with a median Depth of +8 dB; 871 with a fixed Adjust, median +3.6 dB.
