Audio DamageADM12 Neuron FM Drum Voice

Audio Damage ADM12 Neuron

The Audio Damage Neuron is a two-operator FM-based drum module optimized for use in Eurorack modular synthesizers. Neuron is capable of everything from massive FM-style hits, raunchy digital kicks, and snappy x0x-style snares. 

The module’s envelopes have been especially designed for percussive sounds. There’s also a carrier wave sampled from the PCB of a 909 kick oscillator. From there, the signal can undergo sine modulation, modeled soft-saturation, digital distortion, and a random number generator for producing white noise. 

ADM12 Features

• Runs at 48kHz sample rate and 24 bit depth, via a high quality Cirrus-Logic codec 
• Two-operator FM synth voice tuned for percussion use 
• Carrier waveform is a single-cycle sample of a 909 kick's main oscillator, taken from the board of a real 909 via a studio-grade Mytek A/D convertor. Tunable from 20Hz to 1kHz 
• Modulator waveform is a pure sine wave, tunable from 5Hz to 1kHz
• Two ultra-fast percussion-curved internal envelopes for pitch mod and VCA
• Soft saturation/overdrive and distortion control for hardcore sounds
• Internal noise generator for snare and cymbal sounds
• Trigger input that fires the internal envelopes on a 1V edge detection. Can be triggered up to low audio rates (Approx. 60Hz) 
• Accent and Choke inputs allow further time-based control over the output
• Every control has a CV input that accepts +/-5V. Panel controls are sampled at low audio rates (approximately 35Hz) and have further internal lag processing for smooth parameter changes. 
• USB port (on the backplane) for easy firmware updates.
