7-Voice Analog Drum / Percussive Synthesizer Module

The new Queen of Pentacles covers the range of Dance/EDM/Techno music styles and is inspired by the famous TR-909. Endorphin.es did it in a smart way. Check out the features: There are 7 sounds in the drum kit. 3 drums are analogue – bass drum, snare drum and clap. These 3 are generated analogue for the following reason: each sound has its own binary noise generator and really – each time they are triggered the flavor is unique –they simply never repeat. At the same time they don’t phase out each other as in the original 909, which is great – for example in the situation when reinforcing the clap on 2^nd and 4^th with an additional beat of the snare. The other 4 drums are sample-based. Just .wav files playback directly from a microSD card with additional volume envelope, decay and pitch control. Those are simple modifiers but help you to shape the sounds played as one-shots.

Features:
• 3 analog discrete TR-909 circuits with advanced noise spectrum animation – bass drum, snare drum and clap
• 4 sample-based drums (e.g. hi-hats, ride and crash cymbal – or simply use your own samples via SD card)
• zero-latency sample playback directly from SD card – including a set of freshly recorded samples for modern electronic music using handcrafted Paiste 602 15” and 18” cymbals
• Hybrid analog sound generation: 3x band-limited LSRF binary noise generators with spectrum animation, injected into discrete analog circuits
• Effect processor as found in famous Grand Terminal/Milky Way/Blck_Noir
• On-board effect processor with 2 banks consisting of 16 effects in total, including additional auxiliary input and firmware update over audio
• Master isolator-style LP/HP filter with VCA control and saturator booster
• Drums that make you dance: Fit all music styles of music – specifically tuned for EDM and Techno
• Factory sample banks by Nicolas Bougaieff (Mute, Novamute)
