Sound Generation
The heart of the Kick Lancet’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’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 – static or dynamically. Also drum pads can be connected here.
Controller
DECAY – controls decay time of VCA
PITCH – oscillator frequency
BEND – envelope intensity (pitch)
TIME – BEND envelope speed
FM FREQ – LFO frequency
FM INT – LFO intensity (pitch)
ATTACK – adds a pulse to the signal
NOISE – adds noise to the signal
WAVE – mixes between sine- and square waveform
BALLS – more fatness!
Trigger
MIDI (note number an channel can be assigned freely)
SWITCH Trigger
AUDIO Trigger
GATE voltage (dynamically)
