Crust - A Hard-Hitting Drum Voice

Pizza Crust is a hard-hitting drum voice and goes way beyond drum territory. 

It consists of two layers - the NOISE source and dual oscillator TONE generator. 

Hard-hitting drums need a lot of transient attention and CRUST has you covered
with the combination of pitch envelope, layer mixing, FM envelope, and transient
shaper with hard-clipping.

General features:

  • Complex drum voice
  • Dual oscillator TONE layer with pitch settings
  • OCTAVE, DETUNE, pitch SWEEP, SEMI and FINE tune
  • 4 TONE shaping algorithms: FM, FM2, RING and DUAL
  • NOISE layer with filter and 4 algorithms: WHITE, BIT, CLAP and METALMETALIC
  • LAYER fader macro for balancing the TONE and NOISE layer by envelope settings and volume
  • ENV knob to lengthed decay to the right (CW of 12 o'clock) and both attack and decay to the left (CCW of 12 o'clock)
  • Dedicated CV input for LAYER and ENV
  • ENV output
  • V/OCT input with calibration to tune the TONE layer
  • TIMBRE section with 3 parameters: FILTER, CLIP and SHAPE and a dedicated CV input
  • FILTER is lowpass/highpass filter of the NOISE layer
  • CLIP is a clipper with transient focus (hard clip) or body bass boost focus (soft clip)
  • SHAPE settings for the TONE layer with BODY focus or TRANSIENT focus
  • Trigger input
  • Sample & Hold for every CV input (can be turned on/off)
  • Manual triggers
  • Velocity input - when trigger not connected it acts as input for external envelope
  • Assignable CTRL knob and CTRL CV option
  • Firmware updates via micro USB
  • Interchangeable HW with the Pizza Oscillator (just a different panel)
  • 3 channels trigger sequencer in 6 hp
  • Euclidian  pattern generators and XOX step programing
  • Real time manual recording
  • 3 routable bi-polar cv inputs
  • Ability to save and load patterns
  • Programmable ratchets
  • Swing
  • Flip-able interface 
  • Stable clocking with ultra low latency
  • Several modules can be chained to share clock and reset

Specifikations

  • 8 HP
  • PTC fuse and diode protected 10 pin power connector
  • 24 mm deep
  • current consumption: +12 V: 90 mA; -12 V: 20 mA
