Archer's Rig

An 8 HP hi-hat and high percussion synthesizer, hybrid: a digital noise source (13 algorithms and an external input) and its effect (9), through an analog chain of VCA, multimode resonant VCF, distortion and low-cut filter. Open and closed hats, played exclusively, each with its trigger; a velocity input; a randomizer per parameter; 96 presets recalled by CV or Select Bus. A one-digit display and six menu lamps show the menu's pages.
