OHMFORCE BOHM : BRAND NEW : [DETROIT MODULAR]

Main module

Explore uncharted kick territory. Choose from nine unique models (and counting) and let the randomizer surprise your creativity. Precision sound-shaping knobs with wide sweet spots make flawless tweaks effortless.

Basics

LENGTH - Adjusts the overall duration of the kick—from tight clicks up to long, sustained thumps.

SUSTAIN - Sets the perceived volume “tail” of the kick, letting you balance punch vs. body in the mix.

ATTACK - Controls the amount of high-frequency transient energy—add snap or smooth it out.

Tuning & Transient

PITCH - Tunes the fundamental frequency of the kick (≈C1 to C2), either by manual knob or V/Oct tracking.

PITCH CURVE - Morphs the pitch-envelope shape: CCW for soft, 808-style pitch drop; CW for snappier, 909-style.

TRS DECAY - Sets how quickly the transient fade-in clears, balancing punch versus presence.

Tone & Effects

COLOR - Adjusts the body’s harmonic content—from warm analog timbres to bright wavetable tones.

FX - Selects and dials in onboard processing (clipping, wavefolder, distortion, etc.) for character and grit.

TRS TONE - Shapes the transient’s timbre—darker for tight thuds, brighter for pronounced clicks.

Models & Variations

FUNCTION - In Producer mode, randomizes the current model instantly—perfect for sparking inspiration and “happy mistakes.” In Performer mode, it advances your custom kick sequence.

MICRO SD - Houses nine factory “model” files and lets you load new wavetables or samples so you can expand or fully customize your kick engines.
