John Tejada encounters the Hats909
Drum Modular Synthesizer from Tiptop Audio
Tiptop Audio HATS909 in black is a drum module for modular synthesizers in Eurorack format. It uses the same circuitry as the Roland TR-909, but the original TR-909 circuitry is a combination of lo-fi 6-bit sound samples that are run through a series of analog components, enveloped and filtered. HATS909 allows manual and voltage control of the tuning, enabling crushed hats, short ticks and everything in between. The modulation switch allows you to choose between FM/AM. The signal line of the sampled sound can be controlled via the source switch. This allows the sound to be routed either raw or through the 909's analog filters and VCA. As with all drums in this series, the powerful Output allows the sound to be further enhanced with distortion and clipping. The module can be triggered via the Gate inputs with a trigger/gate signal from the step sequencer, Clock-Divider or any other pulse/clock source. The multiple Tiptop drum modules form a complete, flexible synthesizer system. In combination with the MIXZ module, the sum mix is available for immediate tapping.
