Telîmatên Operating

The SD808 module offers intuitive controls for shaping your snare drum sounds. Experiment with each parameter to discover the full range of sonic possibilities.

Controls and Inputs/Outputs:

• DEŞT: This knob controls the overall output volume of the snare drum sound. Adjust clockwise for higher volume, counter-clockwise for lower.
• DENG: The Tone control adjusts the pitch of the dual sine wave oscillators that form the core of the snare sound. Turning this knob will alter the fundamental frequency of the drum.
• SNAPPY: This control adds white noise to the snare sound, simulating the "snare wires" effect of an acoustic snare drum. Increase for a sharper, more pronounced snare crack.
• DEVOK: This knob controls the amount of accent applied to the snare sound. When an accent gate signal is received (via ACCENT IN), this knob determines the intensity of the volume emphasis. It can also be used to fine-tune the final sound even without an external accent signal.
• ACCENT IN: A gate input jack. Connect a gate signal here to trigger the accent feature, providing dynamic emphasis to the snare hits.
• DERIYÊ KETINA: The main trigger input for the snare drum sound. Connect a gate or trigger signal from your sequencer or other module here to generate a snare hit.
• SD OUT: The audio output jack for the SD808 snare drum sound. Connect this to your mixer, audio interface, or other audio processing modules.
