DRUM-08 Clap Module
* analogue stereo clap-sound
* CV-controllable sound parameters
* stereo-output with adjustable width
* dynamic trigger-input
* MSRP: 99,- Euro
 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.
MFB-products are sold through certified dealers. In case there is no such dealer in your area, you may order the module directly for a price of 99 Euro plus 10 Euro shipping/COD costs. |
