Making Other Synth Drum Sounds

In the Making an Oscillator patch, we created a kick drum which decays to an inaudible tone below the
range of human hearing. To create a higher-pitched drum, such as a tom-tom, we will need a VCA to
cut off the audio after the drum decays.
Raise the pitch of Channel A using the sliders or Channel B's Offset knob. You should hear a steady
tone between Channel B firing. Now we'll route this sound through Channel B's VCA. Unpatch the
cable going to the mixer and patch it into Audio Out B instead. Patch a cable from Env Out A to Audio
In B. Now you should hear a similar drum sound, but it will be silent between hits. If you are using the
exponential modification in the previous patch, you probably will want to dial it back because the VCA
itself has an exponential response.
To add some noise to the sound, you can patch an external oscillator into Audio In A. Then move the
patch cable going from Env Out A to Audio In B so that it goes from Audio Out A to Audio In B. The
external oscillator will be amplitude modulated (AM) with the synth drum sound, and this resulting
sound will be VCA'ed with Channel B's envelope. Play with Channel A's sliders and Rise/Fall CV knobs
to hear the range of possible sounds. Next use any of the Env Out jacks to modulate the external
oscillator in time with the synth sound.
Try adding slight modulation to the Time CV of Channel B to create organic, naturally changing drum
sounds. A slow LFO or a CV sequencer will work nicely.
