USER MANUAL

BD-Z is a versatile kick drum module for Eurorack system focus to
design a wide range of bass drum percussive sounds.
The implementation of thru-zero FM/PM BD-Z can deliver an immense
variety of textures and harmonics, it has an amount of control over the
modulation input to preserve the primary kick drum sound or not.
Additionally the implementation of amplitude modulation to the sound core
can add harmonics from the modulation source to be able to shape the
sound, transform it, morph it into many other drums sounds like bongos,
congas, etc.
Attention carefully was considered to maintain the signal gain always
punchy so when the amplitude decay or the distortion is fully open it won't
get out of control.
The distortion can deliver more abrasive tones, it has a dedicated accent
like the vintage style drum machines to add dynamics to the rhythms.
Features two amplitude envelopes out to control other utilities with the
shape of the signal.
BD-Z is a powerful Kick drum module with many modulation possibilities.
.
INTRODUCTION:
* Disconnect your synth from the power source.
* Double check polarity from the ribbon cable, unfortanetly if you damage
the module by powering in the wrong direction it will not be covered by
the warranty.
* After connecting the module check again you have connected the right
way, the red line must be on the -12V

CALIBRATION:
Set all pots to minimum except Decay pot to maximum.
Connect the CV out from your sequencer to V/OCT input, send
triggers to Trig input, send the Output to your DAW.
In your DAW open tuner VST to monitore notes.
Send C1 from your sequencer, in your DAW monitor the output while
turning the multiturn trimmer to read C1.
Send C9 from your sequencer, monitor your DAW to read C9
while turning the multiturn trimmer to read C9.
Send C1 again from your sequencer, monitor your DAW to read
C1 while truning the multiturn trimmer marked C1.
Repeat the process as much as needed until you finish adjusting.
Unplug the cable from the V/OCT input, turn the C1 trimmer to adjust
the desired lowest oscillator frequency.
