BugBrand DRM2
Operation Manual
The DRM2 is presented as a wide-ranging drum voice synthesizer but it is really a full
analogue synthesizer just with drum-focused envelopes. The sound path is a somewhat
traditional subtractive arrangement of Oscillator → Filter → Amplifier, while the control
section offers two Decay Envelopes and a Sample & Hold. This core is then garnished
with switched internal routings, an Audio Preamp and diverse 4mm banana CV
Inputs/Outputs to complete a compact but powerful sound generator.
This manual breaks down the constituent parts (see block diagram overleaf) before giving
usage examples and interfacing details.
