"Elster from LPZW is an all-in-one cymbal section in 4HP, based on the circuitry and ROMs of the classic 909 drum machine. It provides three different cymbal sounds, including Ride, Crash, and both open and closed Hihats. It contains a number of creative and performance based controls, such as the dedicated Accent CV input, giving you access to the same kind of expression found on the original machine. The Decay slider allows you to dial in the perfect sound for your cymbals, along with the bipolar CV input for extra expression potential. The Pitch slider gives you access to the classic Pitch/Speed sound from modulating the speed of samples, along with the Range switch, which emulates a similar pitch range as the original 909, or expands the range even further for more experimental results.

The Reverse Playback button gives you instant access to reversed version of each cymbal, apart from the Hihat mode, which when engaged allows the REV CV input to become a trigger for the Open Hihat. The LPZW also comes with a Mojo switch, which when active adds subtle drive and coloration to your cymbals, allowing them to sit better in a full mix. If you're looking for a well-rounded cymbal module, the Elster from LPZW provides excellent sound and performance capabilities, all in only 4HP.
