Mutant Bassdrum

Hexinverter's analogue bass drum, made by Erica Synths: 808-style kick circuitry with a built-in voltage-controlled distortion that also takes external sounds.

Key features

• Analogue bass drum circuitry capable of plain TR-808 sounds
• Built-in voltage-controlled batteryACID distortion, with CLEAN and DIST outputs
• The distortion takes an external input when the kick does not use it (DIST IN, DIST IN LVL)
• Voltage control of decay, from short kicks to long booms, and of pitch (close to V/oct)
• Optocouplers for voltage control, so the vintage sound stays when nothing is patched
• 21 mA on +12 V, 16 mA on -12 V, 20 mm deep
