Clutch brings purpose-built hi-hat design to eurorack. This dual-layer sample player blends 8 banks of 16 memory-card sample pairs with 9 onboard pairs of open and closed samples, shaped by dedicated filters, release controls, and hi-hat-optimized effects. The intuitive interface combines immediate playability with deep CV control over every parameter. Add instant groove with the Feel control, or craft evolving textures with voltage control. Clutch is the hi-hat module your drum rig has been missing.
