- Page 2 Inputs STRIKE Triggered by any hard edged waveform greater than 2V. Sets the drum in motion. 5V range. Controls the amount of RING. Positive voltages increase RING, negative decrease. 10V range. Standard 1V per octave input to control the drum tuning. NUDGE 10V range.
- Page 3 Knobs RING Controls how long the drum “rings out”. This changes the decay length of both the main envelope and a shorter envelope controlling the texture transient. BEND This control mimics the amount the drum membrane bends when struck. It applies a fixed 45mS sweep to the tuning.
- Page 4 Set up a kick sound with no damping. Run it through a nearly closed lowpass filter with plenty of resonance. Use the Foundation envelope to open the filter. Anomaly works really well for this because it adds a bit of additional grit and character.
