potKick
- 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

potCymbal*
- level
- decay
- tune
*ASM cymbal applies only to tr808 emulation, 909 mode uses plain samples.

potHihat
- level
- decay
- tuning
