Listen on the VCA output.

This extends the basick Kick Drum patch by adding some variation in frequency and gate pattern. With a smaller range coming out of Rene's CV out, it can give some subtle variation. With a larger range, it can sound more like kick drums mixed with toms and possibly snares.

Ensure that the Envelope is long enough to hear, but short enough that it finishes before the next clock pulse.

Experiment with

• Gate pattern on Rene's X channel
• CV (knobs) on Rene's X channel
• If you are having trouble noticing any changes to CV or Gate pattern, try using a shorter sequence by selecting the active steps on the Access page of Rene.
• Envelope fall time
• FM depth on VCO (oscillator), by adjusting the FM attenuator on the VCO. Try in both the positive and negative. direction
• Frequency of VCO

Advanced

• On the Quant page of Rene's X channel, experiment with the CV voltage range. This is set by the top row. Step 1 is 1V, Step 2 is 2V, Step 3 is 3V, Step 4 is 5V. Play with the CV/knob values, and then try each voltage setting, to see how it affects the kick drum frequency.
