That's a pretty complex set of modes and menus to squeeze this thing into 3HP! Since you're a happy long-term user, how feasible is it to do something like stepped CV giving you basic open and closed Hihats along with kick and snare? (In other words using that CV-to-select-sample mode you demonstrated...?) I'm bidding on one of these on eBay right now and trying to decide if it's worth it. 😀

[@the_rabbit]

The main thing I did was to put a random CV into the input to change the decay of the hi hat which made for really cool percussive patterns. You probably could do the steppes CV approach but I’ll admit I never quite tried something like that. Decay time was my go to mode for the CV input and sometime pitch. Certainly doable though. I know others who have used it like this but I just haven’t.

@@the_rabbit Thanks!

[@AndrewPRoberts]

Can you only use the CV modulation for drum1 or can you change it to drum2?

[@the_rabbit]

Just drum1
