The Dusty kick is an electronic kick with an organic feel. It’s capable of broken, dusty sounds
but can also open up to a thundering warehouse boom.
The parameters described below are presented as they appear in the Control area (Ar-
range view). The same parameters are available in the Plug-in panel within the Plug-in
Strip (Mix view). See ↑12.4, The Plug-in Strip for more information on this.
