Introduction The Battering Ram is a bass drum synthesizer based on an original design by Marc Nostromo. This module offers precise control over various parameters, including decay, tuning, depth, click amount, and drive. These controls have been thoughtfully mapped to provide sweet spots at every combination of potentiometer settings.
CV signals from 0 to 5 volts. This input [7], allows you to use the Battering Ram as a bassline or tom/mid-percus- sion generator. Note it is possible to expand the pitch potentiometer range to five octaves. To do so, refer to the Advanced Options section of this manual.

CV input [2]. Velocity & Level The Battering Ram features a unipolar Velocity input that can be used to control the output level. The level of each hit/note is indicated by the three green level LEDs [B].
V/Oct compatibility of the Pitch CV input transforms the [7], Battering Ram into a versatile and powerful bassline module. HiPass Filter The HPF mode includes a 3rd-order 30Hz low-cut filter designed to remove infrasub-frequencies, which can otherwise occupy a substan- tial portion of the signal's headroom.
The Battering Ram has a non-volatile memory of 16 presets which can be saved and loaded thanks to the Select Bus protocol. The Battering Ram handles the Select Bus protocol as a receiver. A Select Bus transmitter like the Harlequin’s Context, is needed in order to save or load presets.
