A few percussion instruments, such as tablas, can be made to bend upwards in pitch. - Page 6 Setting the filter’s frequency with its panel knob allows you to change the timbre of BoomTschak’s noise source (or that of an external signal). That frequency can be changed, or modulated, by one of several signals while BoomTschak plays, imparting some motion to the timbre.
