Tiptop Audio BD909 Details


"The name might be misleading because, yes in some knob positions you will get the classic 909 kick, but there is way more in there, it's really a little bass drum lab with a lot of sweet spots. It can go low, high/smooth/harsh, and anywhere in between; it can also go weird with the VC inputs. If you are used to the BD808 then this will take a bit to get used to because it is a different beast, although with some adjustment you might get close sounds. The pcb is very dense with a lot of circuitry and it wasn't easy to fit all that in there but it sure was worth the challenge. We are making a short run for Christmas that's starting to ship today, but will have more ready to ship in January.

Features:

Output Level - 0 - 10V

Original 909 Attack control

Extended 909 Decay control for more umphhh

New controls for the oscillator tuning:

Attack tune

Decay Tune - these two will have an effect on each other which makes it really cool

Global Oscillator Tune control - this sets an offset for the oscillator, sets the starting frequency for the envelope

VC-Tune with attenuator (can go over a wide range)

Overload knob - might not be everyone's cup of tea, what it does is overload the sine shapers which adds harmonics and some extra punch, it's an aggressive effect.

VC - Overload - Can be CV or even audio

Accent in - can be with a pulse or CV 0 - 5V

Accent Attenuator

Gate in

Price: $170

Size: 8HP"
