CRUST is a powerful drum module redesigned for fast playability and instant creative drum inspiration. It’s not just a single sound; it’s a complete drum kit and a drummer packed into 8hp that you can control with CV for precise shaping, or you can let it run free and draw inspiration from its extensive sound palette.

Crust is a full drum voice that goes far beyond traditional drum sounds. It consists of two layers – the NOISE source and a dual oscillator TONE generator. Hard-hitting drums require a lot of transient detail, and CRUST delivers with a combination of pitch envelope, layer mixing, FM envelope, and transient shaper with hard clipping.

Features

• complex drum voice
• dual oscillator TONE layer with pitch controls
• OCTAVE, DETUNE, pitch SWEEP, SEMI and FINE tuning
• 4 TONE shaping algorithms: FM, FM2, RING, and DUAL
• NOISE layer with filter and 4 algorithms: WHITE, BIT, CLAP, and METALMETALLIC
• LAYER fader macro for balancing the TONE and NOISE layers via envelope settings and volume
• ENV knob to lengthen decay clockwise (right) from 12 o’clock and both attack and decay counterclockwise (left) from 12 o’clock
• dedicated CV input for LAYER and ENV
• ENV output
• V/OCT input with calibration to tune the TONE layer
• TIMBRE section with 3 parameters: FILTER, CLIP, and SHAPE plus a dedicated CV input
• FILTER is a lowpass/highpass filter for the NOISE layer
• CLIP is a clipper focused on transients (hard clip) or body bass boost (soft clip)
• SHAPE settings for the TONE layer with focus on BODY or TRANSIENT
• trigger input
• Sample & Hold for every CV input (can be enabled or disabled)
• manual triggers
• velocity input – when trigger is not connected, it acts as input for an external envelope
• assignable CTRL knob and CTRL CV option
• firmware updates via micro USB
• interchangeable hardware with the Pizza Oscillator (just a different panel)

Technical details

• 8 HP
