• Bus Gate - +5V with key on from an external keyboard over midi via the master module.

Outputs

• Mult - passive signal mixing/splitting, no control of signal levels within the module.

Controls

• Pitch - sets basic pitch of sound
• Decay - sets how long it takes the sound to stop after triggering.
• Drive - more drive adds roughness/buzz and volume.
• Pitch Decay Switch - The Decay can also cause the pitch to drop as well as volume. 1980's Simmons drums...
• Trig - direct, manual triggering of module - very useful.

Patch Suggestions

The Kick module doesn't go very low in Pitch for modern tastes, going through one of the filters can fix this - the Nyle Filter is recommended.

The Lo Fi delay can be fun...
