Erica Synths announces its Bass Drum 2 Eurorack module, available now at the Erica Synths shop and through its network of authorized dealers. Erica Synths Bass Drum was developed in collaboration with French company e-licktronic and it is the companies’ take on analogue bass drum circuits adapted for modular systems. A massive, punchy sound, and accent and CV control over key parameters of the module make it distinctively expressive in live performances.
The Bass Drum2 has a unique take on the same concept. It is 909-based as the previous version, but with a ‘Trigger/Gate’ mode. When in ‘Gate Mode’, Bass Drum2 reacts to gated signals making it possible to create sustained drum sounds. By modulating the gate length (patch the Gate output of the preferred sequencer into Trigger input and set various gate lengths), you can design unconventional Bass Drum patterns.
Features:
-
Pitch, Tune, Tune Depth controls
-
Attack, Decay, Drive controls
-
CV control with attenuators over Pitch, Decay and Drive
-
Manual trigger
-
Accent for better expression
The Bass Drum 2 is available now and priced at €230 and $279 USD. For more information, please visit the Erica Synths product page.
