Use this input to trig the sound. Any signal that increases from 0 units or less, to anything above 0 units
will trig the sound. The red color of the input indicates that it also accepts full audio frequency signals.

The Drum synth module is designed to
generate classic analog drum sounds. It
consists of a master and a slave oscillator
in combination with a noise source and a
multimode noise filter. The global pa-
rameters include a bend function and a
click and noise mixer.

The yellow Trig input trigs the Drum
synth module each time it receives a sig-
nal that changes from 0 units or below to
anything above 0 units. This signal could come from a gate output of a Keyboard or Sequencer module,
for example. A green LED indicates when a trig signal is received.

This blue control input is used to receive velocity information from an external source. The input velocity
signal will affect Master and Slave Oscillator Level, Noise Filter Sweep, Bend Amount, Click Level and
Noise Level. Maximum input velocity will force the parameters to reach their current settings.

The Master display box shows the master pitch in Hz, and the Slave display box the pitch ratio related to
the master pitch. Range: Master: 20.0 Hz to 784 Hz. Slave: 1:1 to 6.26.
