BD - Bass Drum
Sound Generators
2
Item Function Label Control Description
1
Tune TUNE Knob Pitch control for the specific BD module audio.
2
Amount of Modulation AMT Knob Controls the amount of CV that is applied on the pitch of the
signal. The CV is applied at the ‘MOD’ connection pin.
3
Pitch Modulation Input MOD Pin Connection point for incoming modulation to control pitch. A
linear V / Hertz relationship is applied from the incoming voltage.
4
Go Figure! WTF? Pin Connection point for incoming modulation to apply circuit bending
behaviour to pitch.
5
Go Figure! OMG! Pin Connection point for incoming modulation to apply circuit bending
behaviour to the triangular waveform oscillator source.
6
Pitch PITCH Knob Controls the decay rate and depth of modulation. Gives the
characteristic pitch transient at the BD sound start.
7
Drive DRIVE Knob Waveform control of BD. Clockwise will move from triangle,
through sine to square.
a
External Signal EXT Pin External signal in, processed before the BD waveform generator.
b
BD Output OUT Pin Output of the BD synth signal - pre volume control when the
module is triggered.
c
Volume VOL Knob Controls the main volume of the BD Module audio level. The
‘EXT’ pin and (FX) Send outputs are before the volume control.
d
FX Send FX Knob Controls the amount of BD signal that is sent to the FX section.
Output is pre-fader, i.e. before the volume control is applied.
e
Envelope Output ENV Pin Output from the module’s envelope generator.
f
Trigger
input / output TRIG Pin A Trigger in will start the modules envelope generator or loop rec
g
Envelope attack ATT Knob Adjusts the attack time period for the modules envelope.
h
Envelope Release REL Knob Adjusts the release time period for the modules envelope.
i
MIDI Learn LRN Button Learn function to activate mapping of incoming MIDI to module.
j
Rec Play Mode REC PLAY Switch Loop recorder mode selector.
k
Loop Mode Indicator LED Mode indicator - amber means loop recording active.
l
Drum trigger indicator LED Drum trigger indicator - red.
m
Discrete clock point CLK Pin Input for alternative, external clocking for loop recorder.
n
ADD Button ADD Sensor Manual trigger for playing or recording drum hits.
o
DEL Button DEL Sensor Manual trigger for deleting / muting recorded drum hits.
