The Mutant BD9

11.july.2016 Mutant BD9 user manual v1.04 PG1

Hexinverter Électronique, 2016

analog 909-inspired bassdrum synthesis with sub-oscillator

Thank you for your interest in/purchase of the Mutant BD9 eurorack module. We would like to thank you for

considering a place for the BD9 in your modular synthesizer! We hope you find it has a unique character that

lends itself to much use in your musical endeavours. The Mutant BD9 is a eurorack modular format product,

available as a built module and later as a DIY project that electronic enthusiasts can assemble themselves.

WE’RE OBSESSED WITH KICKS

Like the other percussion modules in the Mutant Drum family, the BD9 was born from the desire to evolve

away from classic drum synthesis techniques and offer something with a unique character of its own. The

kick drum is arguably an integral part of electronic music, so we wanted to make sure that the BD9 offered a

supremely flexible and versatile feature-set useful for creating music with. We’re so crazy about bassdrums

that the Mutant Drum series has two different kick drum offerings: the Mutant Bassdrum and the Mutant

BD9. The Bassdrum offers deep, sub-bass drum sounds and now we have the BD9 which is a thumping,

heavy kick suitable for all sorts of different styles of electronic music. Don’t be confused by the names –

they are two creatures each with a different character!

The BD9 features a fully analog core inspired by vintage drum machines. The Mutant BD9 uses a triangle

core VCO with a novel sine waveshaper and other support circuitry to form a kick drum tone, rather than the

twin-t oscillator which is used in the Mutant Bassdrum. The flexibility gained by using a VCO core means that

we have been able to add a lot of control over the various parameters that shape the sound of the kick drum!

Signal levels throughout the BD9 are optimised for modular usage, rather than the line level signals of drum

machines.

There are a number of envelopes and VCAs within the BD9 which are responsible for shaping the character of

the sound. In addition, a “click” generator allows you to add an attack punch made up of white noise and a

short pulse. This attack click is responsible for the pounding character of some infamous classic drum

machines and helps the bassdrum to poke through even the heaviest of mixes.

In addition to multiple CV inputs and controls not found on classic machines, we added a sub-oscillator to

the BD9 for maximal depth. At the end of the signal chain is the DRIVE circuit, which is capable of completely

overdriving the BD9’s signal before it reaches your mix, as well as providing classic sounds at its lower

ranges.

The Mutant Philosophy

There are already some pretty awesome clones of vintage gear out there in the modular world. The

Mutant Drums were not made to try and fill that role. Although each Mutant began as a favourable classic

drum topology, we wanted to create something modern and different, while still maintaining an analog

nature. Features like CV inputs and signal routing not found on classic analog drum machines were

incorporated to make these circuits powerful creative tools in your modular synthesizer.

FEATURES

Parametric bassdrum synthesis offers creative control of the core sound

 The primary analog VCO offers classic 909-esque sinusoidal bassdrums, but can also be switched to generate a

square wave bassdrum.

 The PITCH of the VCO spans several octaves, from about 30Hz to 240Hz, and can be modulated with voltage control

 A novel PITCH DECAY circuit allows you to adjust the duration and AMOUNT of the pitch-modulation envelope

applied to the bassdrum, from short blips to exaggerated tom-like sweeps.

 The AMPLITUDE DECAY allows adjustment of the length of the bassdrum, from short punchy kicks to massive

booms. This parameter is voltage-controlled with a snappy CV response time, allowing you to modulate the duration

of your kicks per step.

 The CLICK generator is responsible for the attack intensity of the BD9. A fair amount of circuitry goes into creating

this subtle punch at the beginning of the kick. The level of this effect is adjustable up to a fairly dramatic extremity.

 The overall timbre of the BD9 varies with the DRIVE control from warm, analog bassdrums at low settings to

speaker-shattering overdriven sounds at high settings. Output levels are modular-level signals, unlike many classic

line-level percussive devices.

Still not heavy enough? Try the sub-oscillator.

 A square wave sub-oscillator derived from the primary oscillator's pitch can be mixed in (manually and with voltage

control) to the BD9. The effect can be subtle deepness or extreme timbre changes.

 A jumper on the back of the module allows you to select between the sub-osc being a raw square wave or having

some of the high frequency components removed with a lowpass filter.

 At high OUTPUT DRIVE and SUB LVL combinations, the sub-oscillator can be modulated with CV to saturate the

BD9 output in evolving ways.

 The SUB OCT can be set to 0, -1 or -2 octaves down from the primary oscillator. A drop of 0 means that you can mix

an equal-pitch square wave with a sinusoidal primary wave.

Designed for the contemporary modular synthesizer

 Plenty of eurorack-compatible control voltage inputs with bipolar attenuverters facilitate synthesis of dynamic

percussion.

 A practical analog trigger circuit allows activation of the BD9 from many signal sources (anything with a positive-

going edge lasting 2ms or longer). Most electronic drum pads can also directly trigger the Mutant BD9.

 An accent input accepts analog voltage control (0 to 5V will fully modulate the volume from low to high).
