Modular
Peak & Hold
Dynamic Percussion Interface
1. Description
The
Peak & Hold allows one to play and control analog synthesizer equipment
using a drum with a pickup or any other percussive signal source. It generates 9
different CV/signal outputs from one input source.
The
P+H provides a dynamic hold voltage (linear and logarithmic), a dynamic impulse signal e.g. for
triggering filters or delays; a dynamic release signal (linear and logarithmic), an envelope and a gate
signal output. Additionally, the original sound signal is available for further signal processing. The input
stage is equipped with adjustable level and trigger controls and a filter for flexible adaptation of
different percussive instruments - such as long or short sounding, high or low drums and cymbals.
Furthermore, there is a 2
nd
input to cascade two
Peak+Holds or to add another signal source.
