ADSR envelopes modulating DRUM MODULES

ADSR envelopes modulating DRUM MODULES from Station 252 on Vimeo.

"How useful are ADSR envelope generators for modulating drum modules?

I am not a huge fan of over modulating drum sounds - quite often an accent is all one needs to make the drum programming come to life, but sometimes certain things really do benefit from extra modulation.

In this video: drum pattern with no accents and no modulation, with accents only and with accents and modulation.

"It looks sharp and is a nearly one-for-one component match to the original Roland TB-303. You won't find a more accurate representation of that iconic sound anywhere else (not even with Roland's latest offerings) Even the extra features/knobs that have been added to extend the functionality are branched off a different internal power supply so that a separate/dedicated power supply matching the original TB-303's can be used to power all the original controls, oscillators, filters, etc."
