mfb drum-06 price : $195.00

the drum-06 module is based upon the tom tom circuit found in the mfb-503. the sonic possibilities have been expanded for extensive editing and modulation capacities.

drum-06 is meant to be used in a modular synthesis system. therefore, most of the tom tom's sound parameters, i.e. decay, tune, pitch and panorama, can be put under cv-control. this allows sound manipulation from envelope generators, lfos, step-sequencers and many other modules.

the tom tom parameters in detail:
decay sets the decay time of up to two seconds for both tonal oscillators.
tune defines the tom toms's basic pitch between 80 to 300 hz.
pitch controls the duration of a pitch-modulation with fixed modulation intensity.
panorama allows stereo positioning of the tom tom because of its dual outputs.
attack sets the attack sound component when a virtual drumstick hits the drumhead.
noise adds a noise component to the sound.

triggering of the tom tom is possible through various signal types. besides analogue and digital trigger-signals, drum-pads, piezo- and dynamic microphones may be used because of variable input sensitivity. dynamic triggering will not only affect the sound's volume but also decay and pitch.

the module has a width of 60 mm (12 te).
