What does this module do?
This module is a complete mini synthesizer that specializes in making analog kick drum sounds.
This product does not use a "Twin T" approach to make it's drum kick sound. This is using an actual 1v/octave
triangle core vco, and ota based vca. The shaper circuit that converts a triangle wave into a sine wave was brought to the
front panel. The shaper knob was calibrated to start its shaping at the beginning of a sine wave, and end with an overdriven square wave.
This parameter is called 'Timbre'.

This product can produce a wide variety of ultra generic analog kick drum sounds.
Influenced by the Korg ER-1 drum synthesiszer, but laid out in an analog fashion.

-toggle switches are connected to 'timing' capacitors. You can select decay legnths on the fly.
-Depth Knobs let ou precisely dial in how much punch, and loudness you want.
-Accent input lets you simulate 'Midi' velocity but with a positive CV input signal. This makes the Amplifier go louder in volume.
This is basically a CV input for the VCA circuit.
-POP parameter creates a clicky sounding, short audible pulse.

All the internal circuitry was optimized for drum kick. You really can't goof up and not make a percussive sound.
All you need is a triggering signal.
