    use_synth :sc808_congamid

Mid conga of the SC808 drum machine based on Yoshinosuke Horiuchi’s implementation of the legendary rhythm composer from the early 80s. This is a percussive synth, so it does not use the standard envelope parameters, neither does it feature slideable parameters.

Introduced in v4.5

## Options

note: | Note to play. Either a MIDI number or a symbol representing a note. For example: `30`, `52`, `:C`, `:C2`, `:Eb4`, or `:Ds3` Default: 57 Must be zero or greater May be changed whilst playing
amp: | The amplitude of the sound. Typically a value between 0 and 1. Higher amplitudes may be used, but won’t make the sound louder, they will just reduce the quality of all the sounds currently being played (due to compression.) Default: 1 Must be zero or greater May be changed whilst playing Has slide options to shape changes
pan: | Position of sound in stereo. With headphones on, this means how much of the sound is in the left ear, and how much is in the right ear. With a value of -1, the sound is completely in the left ear, a value of 0 puts the sound equally in both ears and a value of 1 puts the sound in the right ear. Values in between -1 and 1 move the sound accordingly. Default: 0 Must be a value between -1 and 1 inclusively May be changed whilst playing Has slide options to shape changes
click: | Amount of initial click to the drum sound. 0 is no click and 1 is a hard click. Default: 0.15 Must be a value between 0 and 1 inclusively Can not be changed once set
decay: | Amount of decay for the tom. Higher numbers increase the decay duration. Default: 9 Must be greater than zero Can not be changed once set
detune1: | Detune multiplier of original pitch for the tom’s timbre. A value of 1 indicates no deviation from the fundamental pitch Default: 1.24 Must be greater than zero Can not be changed once set
detune2: | Second etune multiplier of original pitch for the tom’s timbre. A value of 1 indicates no deviation from the fundamental pitch Default: 1.12 Must be greater than zero Can not be changed once set
decay_curve: | Curve value for the decay of the tom Default: -250 Can not be changed once set

## Slide Options

Any parameter that is slidable has three additional options named _slide, _slide_curve, and _slide_shape. For example, 'amp' is slidable, so you can also set amp_slide, amp_slide_curve, and amp_slide_shape with the following effects:

_slide: | Amount of time (in beats) for the parameter value to change. A long parameter_slide value means that the parameter takes a long time to slide from the previous value to the new value. A parameter_slide of 0 means that the parameter instantly changes to the new value. Default: 0
_slide_shape: | Shape of curve. 0: step, 1: linear, 3: sine, 4: welch, 5: custom (use *_slide_curve: opt e.g. amp_slide_curve:), 6: squared, 7: cubed. Default: 5
_slide_curve: | Shape of the slide curve (only honoured if slide shape is 5). 0 means linear and positive and negative numbers curve the segment up and down respectively. Default: 0
