The Battering Ram is a bass drum synthesizer based on an original
design by Marc Nostromo. This module offers precise control over
various parameters, including decay, tuning, depth, click amount, and
drive. These controls have been thoughtfully mapped to provide
sweet spots at every combination of potentiometer settings.
The drive section can seamlessly transition between two distinct
wave-shaping modes, ranging from smooth drive/compression to
hard-clipping distortion for core music lovers. For smooth modular
integration, there's an additional output that mirrors the amplitude
envelope or its inverted shape.
The module also boasts other convenient features, such as storing and
recalling potentiometer settings, a 3-pole high-pass filter, and the option
to use gates instead of triggers. Despite its compact size, the Battering
Ram delivers a diverse range of bass drum sounds, from long sub-bass
drums to aggressive techno kicks.
