Envelope/LFO/tap LFO/Drum generator A SWISS-ARMY KNIFE FOR PERCUSSIVE PATCHES Peaks provides 4 different functions in a small 8-HP package: ADSR, LFO / Tap tempo LFO, and drum synth. Their common point? They are all about generating an audio or CV signal in response to a trigger, and are all focused on rhythmic works. Peaks is a dual-channel module – making it very useful for duophonic patches or for controlling/synthesizing the kick/snare rhythmic backbone of a patch. Four in one… ADSR envelope generator Segment durations ranging from 0.2ms to 8s. Quartic attack, exponential decay, exponential release. LFO and tap-tempo LFO 0.03 Hz to 160 Hz. 5 basic waveforms: square, triangle, sine, stepped, random. Waveform variations and morphing for each of these: PWM, slope, folding/harmonics, step size, interpolation. Phase at reset control. Tap LFO can lock onto irregular rhythms. Drum synth Channel 1: 808 kick model with extra parameters (tune, punch). Channel 2: 808 snare model with extra parameters (tune, decay). Channel 2: A specific combination of settings transform the snare into a modelled 808 hi-hat. Control modes Twin: Channel 1&2 share the same parameters but can be triggered independently. Split: Channel 1 is edited by knobs 1&2, channel 2 edited by knobs 3&4, with a simplified 2-parameter control scheme. Expert: Channel 1&2 are completely independent. Specifications Inputs: 100k impedance, threshold at 0.6V. 16-bit CV/audio generation with 48kHz sample rate. Output level: 0 to +8V for envelopes, 10Vpp for LFOs and drum signals.
