METRO

A complete drum synthesizer

Who has never seen someone playing a drum set made of plastics and tubes in the subway? It’s amazing to see how a paint can and some other stuff can produce such interesting tones and rhythms. Inspired by the idea of generating a “percussive whole”, we present the Magerit Metro. It is a drum synthesizer and a rhythmic sequencer, everything packed in a 13HP-width Eurorack module. Let’s have a look at all the features included in METRO.

We have developed 11 unique algorithms: 3 bass drums, 2 snares, 2 tom-toms, 2 cymbals, a string generator and hand claps one. Each model allows you to modify its parameters at ease. In addition, you can adjust the volume and pan of each instrument individually.

The module has 6 slots (or channels). On each one you can load one of the instruments and generate different rhythms. The Euclidean sequencer allows you to play with mathematical proportions and generate groundbreaking patterns. In addition, a second kind of sequencer is included: a step sequencer. Both are fully configurable, (number of steps, ratios…)

Regarding the control of each parameter and the TEMPO, all potentiometers (and their respective CV inputs) are fully assignable. You can give any function to anyone. And that’s not all: all Trigger inputs are also modifiable! You can select which channel to run or even their response type: TRIGGER or ACCENT.

Finally, the Magerit Metro has two built-in effects: Echo & Reverb (with a length of 2 seconds). Now your drum kit will sound as if you were in a stadium!
