The Bass Drum is the underpinning foundation modern electronic music is built on, getting this right is the difference between a track that pops and a track that flops! The Big Hip Bass Drum Eurorack Module is an ideal addition to any modular set up in need of a thumping kick drum. The fully assembled module is based on a 1980s electronic design by Craig Anderton.
This module has a 100% analog circuit and comes fully constructed with controls for tuning, decay, gate trigger, click volume, click tune, output, resonance and filter. It has a modern design with miniature circuitry, making it only 7HP of eurorack real estate. Tune the drum to match your track, pitching it down for deeper bass and set the output level to get the perfect mix balance.
Both the input and output sockets are illuminated for use in a darker space and the unit uses around 20mA and +/-12 volts of power. Whatever type of music you make, a kick drum is an essential element to keep the track moving.
The unit ships from the US by Soundlazer who has a new range of eurorack modules on the horizon. Check out the video below to find out more from the bass drum creator:
