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.
