BD-Z is a versatile kick drum module for Eurorack. It is able to produce a wide range of bass drum and percussive sounds, that go further than the typical 808 and 909 sounds.
Patching Panda implemented thru-zero FM/PM for an immense variety of textures and harmonics. BD-Z features a great amount of CV inputs for modulation, to shape the sound, transform and morph it into many other drums sounds like bongos, congas, etc.
The circuit was carefully designed to maintain the signal gain, regardless of the setting. It will always be punchy and when the amplitude decay or the distortion is fully open it won't get out of control.
The distortion can be subtle or aggressive, it has a dedicated accent input like some vintage drum machines to add dynamics to the rhythms. Pretty handy are the two amplitude envelope outputs. With these you can control other modules, his way they can “react” to the bass drum sound. Send the inverted envelope output to a VCA controlling your bassline, lead sound or reverb and you get…you know it.
Patching Panda modules are created to design signal ideas taking advantage of the wide range of possibilities with the modular synth. Giving you the ability to build a complex sound from scratch, which is the main idea of modular synthesizers.
