ALM-031 - ‘Tyso Daiko’ Introduction The ‘Tyso Daiko’ is a dual 12-bit digital wavetable drum voice with full voltage control and an analog EQ output path. The twin voices are independently triggered and output, but share pitch, envelope and other parameters of a swept wavetable oscillator. One voice is output through a voltage controlled analog tilt EQ emphasising upper or lower frequencies.
ALM-031 - ‘Tyso Daiko’ General Usage ‘Tyso Daiko’ produces a drum ‘hit’ sound when a trigger signal (approx. +3v rising edge) is applied to either trigger input. Trig 1 is normalised to Trig 2 meaning it will trigger both voices when Trig 2 is unpatched. The two other trigger inputs - Acc (Accent) and Choke - respectively either further (de)emphasise the hit sound or immediately stop it in the presence of a trigger signal.

ALM-031 - ‘Tyso Daiko’ Wave Control Selects the source wave for both voices. Morphs between 11 different waveforms which are: noise > sine > tri > saw > pulse > voice > bell1 > bell2 > cymbal > spectra > buzz.
ALM-031 - ‘Tyso Daiko’ Patch Ideas Dual Drum Voices (Kick + Snare) 1. Patch a x1 clock from Pam (or other trigger sequencer) to the ‘Trig 1’ input. Patch ‘out 1’ into a mixer and monitor the output. 2. Set ‘wave’ to a sine and ‘release’ to a shorter time.
ALM-031 - ‘Tyso Daiko’ Stacking Voices 1. Patch a trigger sequence or clock to the ‘trig 1’ input, leave the ‘trig 2’ input unpatched. 2. Monitor the audio from ‘out 1’ . 3. Patch ‘out 2’ back to the ‘external in’ of the EQ section.

ALM-031 - ‘Tyso Daiko’ APPENDIX I. Calibration To calibrate the v/oct tracking; • Ensure that no voltage is patched to the V/Oct input and that the Start Freq control is set fully counter clockwise (CCW). • Power the module with the small ‘cal’ button held down (on PCB below fold control on panel).
