The Mandrake from Malstrom is a great compact kick drum module that offers plenty of control over the sonic characteristics and dynamics of your sound.
The module is divided into two sections - Hit and Body.
The Hit section is a resonating filter that can cut through the mix while the Body section is another resonating filter that gives you the option for saturating the signal while offering damping and frequency adjustments.
Its unique Accent input gives you a switchable option to modulate an internal VCA or trigger another similar yet sonically distinct drum sound. Tune your bass drum easily with the large Frequency knob and adjust the amount of pitch modulation with the two central sliders, all of which are voltage controlled with a V/Oct input available for generating bass lines.
You can create nice ducking effects with the Envelope output and enhance the sound of the kick with a Clean Up switch that adds a high pass set to 25Hz to remove rumble and a frequency dip at 300Hz for clarity.
Features:
- Original drum circuit for unique sound design
- Hit and Body sections are independently sculpt-able
- Hit-timbre and Hit-volume controls to shape sound of the transient
- Body saturation, resonance, decay and damping controls provide a varied sound palette
