Bug Crack
Bug Crack is a hi-fi replacement for BootsNCats. It has a nice and boomy kick, as well as a versatile snare/percussion channel. The snare is inspired by the FM drum voice in Peaks, by Mutable Instruments, and can blend between a sine wave oscillator and noise source.

- Digital Ins: Digital 1 triggers the kick drum, Digital 2 triggers the snare drum
- CV Ins: Assignable per channel
- Outputs: Audio Outputs, A/C is the kick drum, B/D is the snare drum
- Encoder Push: Cycles the cursor between parameters
- Encoder Turn: Changes channel type, increases/decreases selected parameter, or changes CV In assignment
There are a lot of parameters for a wide variety of sounds. Because of this, all of the parameters can't be displayed on the screen at once. As a solution, each drum is represented by a little bug, with different features that change based on different parameter values. Experiment to see what each parameter changes!
The base frequency of the drum. Kick has a range of 30-60Hz, snare has a range of 100-700Hz.
The time in takes for the sounds to fade out. On the snare, this parameter also affects the Snap time.
Punch causes a quick pitch drop at the beginning of the sound that's common in kick drums. Punch controls how high up the pitch drop starts from.
Drop controls the time it takes to get from the Punch value to the Frequency value.
Snap is equivalent to the Punch parameter. It causes a pitch drop at the beginning of the sound, at the higher frequencies of the snare range it can create a nice snapping sound.
Blend between the oscillator and noise.
In addition to all of the parameters above, the CV inputs can also be assigned to attenuation (atn). A positive voltage increases the attenuation, meaning it gets more quiet. This is opposite to what a "volume" parameter would do, but is required due to constraints of the o_C.
