Introduction
The TM88 is an accurate replica of the TR808 tom tom drum sound. The
tune range has been extended so one module can cover low, mid and high Tom
sounds. A Noise level control has been added, so that the noise element of the
sound can be exaggerated.
Use
The trigger input has a range of about 5 to 12V. A trigger or gate signal of at
least 5V will trigger the sound. A larger trigger pulse will increase the level of the
sound (accent the notes). When the accent socket is used, the trigger input socket
only triggers the sound and the level of the sound is controlled by the voltage of
the CV at the accent socket. The accent voltage can be from another trigger pulse
generator, or from an LFO or Envelope. When using for example an LFO, you can
have the level changing with the LFO sweep.
The trigger LED will light each time a trigger pulse is received.
Controls
Tune
Sets the drum pitch. Note, the tune can be pitched down below a useful level!
Noise
Changes the level of the noise. This control can sound 'scratchy'. The pot is not at fault.
Level
Sets output level
