- level is the volume
- pitch is the tuning
- decay is the length of the bass drum
- attack: the volume of a shaped pulse at the beginning of the sound


potTom

- level
- pitch
- decay
- switch selector between 3 TOMS each mapped individually

potSnare
- level
- tuning
- snappy: the level of white noise
- tone: is the filter applied to snappy
