SNARE
DRUM
The snare drum
sound is a combination of
the drum tone
with the rattling of the
snares.
The drum tone is produced
with the
VCO
16'
square wave and the
sound of the
snares
with white noise; be careful
of the
mixing
levels. The
drum pitch will
depend
on which key is used;
probably
somewhere
near the center of the
keyboard would be
best. With the ENV-1 gate
trigger
selector
switch
at
LFO
as
shown, a snare
drum roll
is produced.

Like most
percussion
instruments, this
sound has
a
very short decay/release time.
The quality
of
the sound will depend on
which key is used; in this case use C2
(the
C
just to the
right of
the center
of
the
keyboard).
Various percussion sounds can
be produced
by varying
the VCF
CUTOFF FREQ
setting. For
example,
with the CUTOFF
FREQ
at about
"3"
and the ENV-1 "D"
and "R" controls
at
"A",
the sound
of a
steel drum is produced.

This sound is made
with noise.
Again, the
VCF settings are critical.
Also, try variations
of
the
ENV-1 controls. The
tone quality
will
depend on which key is depressed.
