What Does the KX1000 Body Control Do?

DIRECT ANSWER

The KX1000 Body control sets the contribution of the body layer, which provides the main mass and tonal shape between transient and sub.

Practical starting point
  • Play the kick in context.
  • Move the control through an exaggerated range to learn the effect.
  • Return to the smallest setting that serves the track.
  • Level-match when the control changes apparent loudness.
