For sure... I wasn't trying to flip in my response ("a(nother) drum machine") I merely wanted to point out that hard wired parameters is an option.  An option I ultimately decided not to go with because I didn't want to think in terms of BD/SD/HT/CB/CB/CB/etc.  but rather to dial in sounds out of the entire universe of tones the MPS can create...

I may ultimately end up back at a drum machine type of range with a lot of panel space, but I'm leaving the options open for now.

cheers,

Keep in mind that in reality is a full synth voice. You can play it like a regular synth if you want to. I have built some of Thomas's drum modules, and they are fun for sure, but ultimately I choose to pass on this one simply because it has too many controls. You can still create your vision of the old Syndrum. Which would be really cool!

Don't get me wrong....... ..I'm very excited about this MPS.
Just trying to figure out what makes the most sense.
 
When this Module was first mentioned,
I had visions of the old Syndrums, where you had a desk-top unit
that produced 2 drums. NOT saying it has to be this way,
that's just what I pictured. A single module capable of 2 drums(or 1-cym+1-drm)
 
Before I dive into panel designs(and I definitely will...)
Please post some of your potential applications.
 
I'm thinking this 1-GIANT module will be great for multiple toms.
Create some fat analog sounds with short decay,
then send 4 or 5 pitches to it to produce 4 or 5 toms........ ..
