mfb drum-08 price : $140.00

the drum-08 module is based upon the clap-sound-circuit of our mfb-522 drum-computer, slightly modified and expanded. in comparison to the mfb-522, drum-08 offers more sound shaping parameters, some of them under cv-control. in addition, the module works in stereo.

drum-08 was developed as a modular component. therefore, the parameters claps, space and decay can also be controlled by cv-sources like envelopes, lfos or step-sequencers. the parameters reverb and basis can be adjusted manually.

triggering of the module is possible through various signal types. besides sequencer generated analogue and digital trigger-signals, drum-pads, piezo- and dynamic microphones may also be used. here, the sens-control allows adjusting the input sensitivity. dynamic triggering will not only affect the sound's volume but also attack and sound length slightly. the functions in detail:

reverb:
reverb is not the typical reverberation effect. it is a decay-control for the noise-sound-component. with longer decay times, the effect resembles reverberation.

claps:
controls the number of claps produced. this parameter interacts with the space parameter.

space:
sets the time-distance between the clap-sounds. with long settings, fewer claps will audible accordingly.

decay:
adjusts the decay-time of the individual claps.

basis:
sets the width for the stereo-output.

the claps in drum-08 are alternately send to the left and right output to create a wide stereo-effect, with the base-control set accordingly. the make use of this function, connect the stereo-output of the drum-08 module to the stereo-input of mfb's mixer module drum-99 or an external mixer. with basis set to minimum, the clap sound will be send to both outputs in mono.

the module has a width of 40 mm (8 te). it is equipped with a connector cable compatible to doepfer's system-bus.
