we could do better. Two years ago we created a simple TR-808 Kick Drum Eurorack Module. And it was a huge hit! But it lacked CV...
For V2.0 We Took Your Feedback
and made a new Kick Drum eurorack module built for live techno. Introducing Three New CV Inputs, an improved distortion switch, Dual Low-Pass High-Pass filter, and even a Side-Chaining Envelope Output.
Haptics Happen
Control Knobs are placed with ergonomics in mind. Sufficient finger room between knobs and bottom-half jack placement so your cables don't obscure the controls. We even gave the Filter knob a prime location for quick and easy techno drops.
The #1 Most Requested Feature
Side Chaining. Side Chaining increases the intensity of a kick drum by reducing the volume of your main melody when your kickdrums hits. The Side Chaining Envelope Out of the Kickdrum Pro CV can be patched to the Gate-In of a VCA. You then pass your main melody audio signal through the VCA. Now the volume of your melody is reduced whenever your kickdrum is triggered. Standard practice in Techno and EDM. Don't buy a kick without it.
Goa Kicks?
Decay in Pitch AND Volume for a dirty, gritty sound. Simply connect the Kickdrums Envelope Out to the Pitch CV input.
We'll Let You Decide...
Smooth TR-808 Bass Drums, or Distorted TR-909 Kicks. We went back and forth for months. Then developed a switching circuit that does both.
