Re: [AH] Favorite Eurorack drum modules?

I've really not heard any good ones yet in the entire euro world, at
least nothing that sounds as good a self-oscillating SH-101.

 I am suspecting is that all real analogue circuits have limitations and tr=
ade offs between cost and flexibility. So while musicians want a modular dr=
um voice to be able to produce a  useful sound in nearly all of the range o=
f available parameters, in fact what seems to happen is that each voice as =
a limited range. When you go out of the useable range, you can produce a so=
und, but it may not actually be very useful.

 a virtual modular can be a ton of fun for making a drum kit. you can assem=
ble the standard kinds of analog drum sounds and then go nuts from there, w=
ithout of course needing to buy 57 oscillators. I have a couple of really n=
ice kits on my original nord modular (I can fit 4-8 sounds in the DSP for o=
ne slot, depending, and make a full kit from 2-3 slots) and am working on t=
ranslating them to the G2. I also recently got an Axoloti and think you cou=
ld make a nice kit there, and end up with something pretty compact and usef=
ul. it's nice doing things like creating the kind of six-oscillator network=
 used for the 808 hats and using it as a source for hats and cymbal, and be=
ing able to modulate the filters or play with the relative pitches to see w=
hat happens. obviously, basic 808 kick/tom stuff is pretty easy, but FM plo=
nks can be nice too. I also built some patches with resettable LFOs for mod=
ulation that let me make loops that have semi-random modulation that still =
repeats each measure.
