Patch
3:
Kick
Drum
This
is
a
very
simple
patch
that
will
create
a
nice
snappy
kick
drum
depending
on
the
VCO
you
use.
A
self
oscillating
VCF
can
also
be
used,
for
example
the
Intellijel
Korgasmatron
makes
excellent
fat
kicks
with
a
bit
of
Q
drive
since
it
is
not
a
true
sine
wave.
When
doing
this
patch
take
the
sine
out
of
your
VCO
and
patch
it
into
your
VCA.
Patch
the
same
trigger
from
a
sequencer
into
both
Quadra
sections
1
and
2.
Patch
1
through
an
attenuator
and
then
into
the
pitch
CV
input
of
your
VCO.
The
attenuator
is
needed
to
reduce
the
CV
range
of
the
Quadra,
too
much
and
the
kick
will
sound
like
a
zap
instead
of
a
snap.
Both
AD
should
be
set
to
fast
Attack
and
medium
Decay
to
start.
The
Pitch
AD
should
be
shorter
than
the
amplitude
AD.
To
reduce
clicks
slow
down
the
attack
of
the
amp
AD
a
bit,
try
starting
at
9
o’clock.
Adjust
the
pitch
of
your
VCO
and
the
attenuator
until
you
get
a
nice
boom
tone.
Then
adjust
the
Quadra
AD
times
until
you
get
the
shape
of
kick
you
desire.
