Hexinverter Mutant Snare
The Hexinverter Mutant Snare is an analog drum synthesizer optimized for use in Eurorack modular synthesizers. The module features a plethora of control parameters including drive, shell tone, shell pitch, decay, cutoff, mix, snappy, a res switch, and a switchable 12dB filter that can be used for band-pass or high-pass filtering. The module is capable of everything from classical snare sounds to corrupted and unusual percussion sounds.
Mutant Snare Features
- MIX lets you blend between the SHELL and SNAPPY tones that make up the overall snare drum
- Turn up the DRIVE to get overdriven snare tones with intense harmonics. The purple LED indicates when the snare begins to overdrive
- Like the other Mutant Drums, signal levels have been normalized for modular level input and output (up to 20Vpp)
- Shell Synthesizes drum skins
- Analog bridged-t sinewave oscillators, for those organic-sounding tones we've come to love from the 808
- TONE control blends between the two sinewaves of different frequency
- SHELL PITCH lets you tune one of the sine waves, to change the pitch of your snare drum
- An analog white noise generator feeds the SNAPPY circuit
- An external input lets you patch any sound source you like into the SNAPPY generator
- Voltage control of SNAPPY decay
- SNAPPY feeds into an analog selectable high-pass or band-pass filter
- Voltage control of filter cutoff frequency
- When nothing is plugged into the cutoff CV input, the SNAPPY envelope OR the adjustable sinewave from the SHELL generator normalize through the CV attenuverter for cutoff CV. A jumper on the back of the module allows you to select which of these internal modulation signals are routed here
- Filter has three resonance settings: classic 808 (low resonance), high resonance, and self oscillation
- Bipolar attenuators (aka: 'attenuverters') on CV inputs
- Eurorack Module
- Width: 13HP
- Depth: 30mm
- Current Draw: 50mA@+/-12V
