Description / Specs
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.
