Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Mutant BD9 is a 13HP analog bass-drum voice centered on an analog VCO with sine and square-wave modes. Pitch, pitch-decay amount and time, plus voltage-controlled amplitude decay, provide direct control over the drum’s contour. An adjustable click shapes the attack, while the output drive and square-wave sub-oscillator add further stages of control; the sub level also accepts CV. Trigger and accent inputs make it ready to place in a Eurorack drum patch, with a 1/8-inch analog output for its sound.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Creating Eurorack bass-drum parts with adjustable pitch decay, amplitude decay, click, drive, and sub level.
  • Triggering and accenting a dedicated analog kick voice within a modular drum patch.
  • Using CV control over pitch, amplitude decay, or square-wave sub-oscillator level.

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

Analog VCO with sine and square modes

The primary oscillator can be switched between sine and square-wave operation.

Detail 02

Approximately 30Hz–240Hz

This is the listed frequency range for the module.

Detail 03

Pitch, amp-decay, and sub-level CV inputs

Those three parameters can be controlled by incoming CV.

Detail 04

13HP wide, 1.3 inches deep

Allow 13HP of panel width and 1.3 inches of mounting depth.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01A Eurorack case and power supply are required.
  2. 02Allow ±12V 50mA in the system power budget.
  3. 03Plan for a 13HP space and 1.3-inch module depth.

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01What inputs does Mutant BD9 have?

It has trigger and accent inputs, plus CV inputs for pitch, amplitude decay, and sub level.

02Can the oscillator use a square wave?

Yes. Its analog VCO has sine and square-wave modes.

03Does it include a sub-oscillator?

Yes. It uses a square-wave sub-oscillator derived from the primary oscillator, with level control.
