Crust

CRUST is a hard-hitting drum module reimagined for fast playability and immediate creative drum inspiration. It is not just one sound; it is a full drum kit and a drummer hidden in 8hp that you can command with CV for precise control & shaping, or you can let it loose and draw inspiration from its vast sound palette.

Crust is a full drum voice going 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.

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)
