Vermona Kick Lancet

Kick Lancet
analogue kick drum generator
The Kick Lancet is a handy analogue percussion synthesizer with priority to kick-drum sounds ﾖ you might have expected this.

Sound Generation
The heart of the Kick Lancetﾒs sound structure is an analogue oscillator that produces sine- and square waves, which can be blend seamless from one to the other. Two independent envelope generators with a decay/release phase can modulate the oscillatorﾒs frequency and the VCA. Additionally the VCO pitch can be modulated by the fast LFO (3Hz to 3kHz, triangle). Noise and a pulse signal can be added in the MIXER section. And we have a BALLS controller for making it really big.

Trigger
The Kick Lancet can be triggered by MIDI but beside that there are three different trigger inputs:

• GATE: A gate impulse can trigger the Kick Lancet in normal way, with additional accent or completely dynamical depending on the incoming voltage.
• SWITCH: Simply short current trigger (i.e. momentary foot switch).
• AUDIO: Offers the possibility to trigger the Kick Lancet by an audio signal ﾖ static or dynamically. Also drum pads can be connected here.
