I have the ADV-Bass.  It's a useful module, but I think it needs a little
modding to make it sound better.  It produces relatively realistic kick
sounds, but doesn't do long sustaining 909-type kicks very well.

I haven't modded mine yet (too many other projects going), but I think the
addition of a 909-type VCA EG would be nice, as well as adding velocity and
CV inputs at the very least.  The problem is there is only a single EG that
controls pitch sweep and VCA...I'd prefer 2 EGs with seperate decay controls.

Buy the "Electronic Drum Cookbook" when you get the modules... the
ADV-bass/snare both use circuits directly from that book, and it does a
great job of explaining how everything works... should make modding much
easier
