Module 04 — Blast
Blast
An analog kick drum module that turns one trigger into a tunable, tone-shapeable low end — punch and body sit on their own controls, not buried inside a single decay knob.
Blast is built around a fast-decay, slow-release envelope shape most kick circuits don’t separate — a dedicated Body control brings in the low-frequency sustain independently of the initial transient, so the thump and the click can be dialed in on their own terms, whether you’re triggering it from a sequencer or playing it by hand.
Pitch and amplitude decay each take their own CV input, a blendable wave-folder adds distortion without leaving the analog signal path, and thru-zero FM alongside an audio-rate AM input open it up to more than just drum duty. An accent input with its own attenuator, 1V/Oct tuning, and separate unipolar envelope outputs round it out for patching into the rest of a system.
What it does
One trigger, a tunable low end.
01
Manual + trigger input
Play Blast by hand or trigger it from a sequencer, with separate, CV-able decay for amplitude and pitch so the two can move independently.
02
Body, distortion & FM
A dedicated Body control brings up low-end sustain, a blendable wave-folder adds grit, and thru-zero FM plus an audio-rate AM input push it past kick-drum duty.
03
Accent, tuning & outputs
An attenuated accent input, 1V/Oct tuning, and both a final output and a unipolar amplitude-envelope output for patching the shape itself elsewhere.
