Re: CGS18 Drum simulator pitch drop question

2012-12-29 by sasami@hotkey.net.au

Double the value of the capacitor to halve the frequency = 1 oct down.
So 1n > 4n7 and 10n > 47n will give a bit over 2 octaves down for the 'kick'.
470p > 2n2 and 4n7 to 22n will give a bit over 2 octaves down for the other.

>Hello,
>I have the twin-t drums with the res brought out to the front panel and a
500k pot from the 470k resistor which has given me a range from kick all the
way up to a popping click. The pitch goes from the unmodified state on up
but my question is how to drop it a couple octaves.
