OmnitoneBeatsi Multi-Timbral Drum Voice

Omnitone Beatsi

Beatsi from Omnitone brings a versatile quintet of digital drum voices to your Eurorack synthesizer in a compact package, perfect for crafting complex modulated percussion in systems of any size. Beatsi pairs wonderfully with its companion Rhythmi, connecting seamlessly via jumper pins on the back of the module to form a highly capable modular drum machine. With trigger inputs for each of its five voices, you can just as easily integrate Beatsi with your own favorite sequencers, empowering your modular grooves no matter your preferred tool set or workflow.

Featuring kick, snare, hi-hat, tom, and crash voices, Beatsi offers a full drum kit of percussion sounds. The sleek, multi-color LED display grid gives you simple controls for each voice, with navigation controlled by the parameter encoder. For the Tom voice, a CV input is provided for pitch, letting you create tuneful drum melodies, fills, and more. In each voice, you can use the value knob to set the timbre, pitch, decay time, and level for each sound source, providing a vast range of sound design possibilities to explore. The timbre control smoothly morphs between multiple drum sounds for each of three kit types, including a classic acoustic drum kit, fuzzy lo-fi inspired kit, and the space-grade alien kit. Two assignable CV inputs can affect any of these parameters, with the synthesis engine tuned to ensure smooth modulation that brings the best out of modular drum programming. Whether you are starting out with a small modular groovebox or bringing new flavors to an orchestra of other voices, Beatsi from Omnitone is a surefire source for sizzling percussion in any patch.
