A great-sounding kick drum module from the ever-reliable Patching Panda, adding to their range of excellent Eurorack percussion tools.
Manufacturer's description
The Blast module is designed to make crafting great kick drums easier. It helps you tackle the challenges of balancing low-end depth, mid-range impact, and high-frequency clarity, so you can create kicks that feel powerful and sound cohesive. Blast focuses on the essential elements of a kick drum: delivering enough punch to stand out in the mix while maintaining a full, rich sustain.
Its unique envelope offers a fast decay with a slower release for amplitude, ensuring a tight, punchy transient while preserving fullness. Additionally, the Body Control feature allows you to increase the weight of the kick, adding depth and power without overwhelming the mix. With tools like compression, envelope shaping, and subtle distortion, Blast gives you the flexibility to shape the transient for just the right amount of impact and definition—without overcomplicating the process.
Whether you’re aiming for a clean, punchy sound or a more versatile tone, Blast provides intuitive controls that adapt to a wide range of musical styles. It’s built to help you get the sound you need, simply and effectively, without compromising on quality.
