The classic Analogue snare drums have to be the TR909 and TR808 snares. They are a
combination sound and comprise of two basic elements. Firstly there is the pitched element
which simulates the vibration of skins on a snare shell and a noise element simulates the
‘snare’ chains. Although not totally convincing as the ‘real’ thing, the original TR909 & TR808
snares have a unique sound and have become ‘The’ Dance and Soul music snares. All the
character of the original TR909 & TR808 snare drums are faithfully reproduced using ASM
Technology. Four parameters are provided for adjusting the timbre of the snare sound on
each drum kit.

When assigned to the stereo outputs this knob allows you to set the relative level of the
Snare drum in the “mix”.

This knob controls the pitch of the Snare drum. Turn anti-clockwise and the pitch will be lowered resulting in a ‘looser’
sound, clockwise and the pitch is raised, as if the skin on a real drum had been tightened.

always set this knob to the 12 o’clock position.
Snappy - Rotary
This knob controls the amount of noise in the snare sound. The snare drum is unique in the fact that it is composed of two
parts, a pitched element from the skin and a noise element from the metal snare. This parameter decides the proportional
