Pair Neuron with a multi-lfo module (f.e. Batumi or Octasource) and you get a powerful FM drummachine and more.

Neuron is an FM-based all-in-one drum voice module suitable for all types of electronic music. From big Autechre-style FM hits to huge digital hardcore kicks to tight x0x snare drums, Neuron can make a broad range of percussion sounds with ease. 

Starting with super fast envelopes internally curved for percussion sounds, we add a carrier wave that is a single-cycle sample straight from the PCB of a 909's kick oscillator. We then add pure sine modulation, analog-modeled soft saturation, digital distortion, and a true random-number-generator for white noise. 

The result is a drum module that is both easy to use and incredibly versatile.  

Features

• Runs at 48kHz sample rate and 24 bit depth, via a high quality Cirrus-Logic codec 
• Two-operator FM synth voice tuned for percussion use 
• Carrier waveform is a single-cycle sample of a 909 kick's main oscillator, taken from the board of a real 909 via a studio-grade Mytek A/D convertor. Tunable from 20Hz to 1kHz 
• Modulator waveform is a pure sine wave, tunable from 5Hz to 1kHz
• Two ultra-fast percussion-curved internal envelopes for pitch mod and VCA
• Soft saturation/overdrive and distortion control for hardcore sounds
• Internal noise generator for snare and cymbal sounds
• Trigger input that fires the internal envelopes on a 1V edge detection. Can be triggered up to low audio rates (Approx. 60Hz) 
• Accent and Choke inputs allow further time-based control over the output
• Every control has a CV input that accepts +/-5V. Panel controls are sampled at low audio rates (approximately 35Hz) and have further internal lag processing for smooth parameter changes. 
• USB port (on the backplane) for easy firmware updates.
