Erica Synths has released Bass Drum2 - an updated version of their 909-based bass drum module. Here's the details in their own words...
Erica Synths Bass Drum is developed in collaboration with French company e-licktronic and it's our take on analogue bass drum circuits adapted for modular systems. Massive, punchy sound, Accent and CV control over key parameters of the module make it distinctively expressive in live performances.
The Bass Drum2 has a unique take on the same concept - 909 based like previously, but with a Trigger/Gate mode. When in Gate Mode - Bass Drum2 reacts to gated signals making it possible to create sustained drum sounds. By modulating the gate length (patch the Gate output of the preferred sequencer into Trigger input and set various gate lengths), you can design unconventional Bass Drum patterns.
Features:
- Pitch, Tune, Tune Depth controls
- Attack, Decay, Drive controls
- CV control with attenuators over Pitch, Decay and Drive
- Manual trigger
- Accent for better expression
