Hi Daryl, yeah there's some overlap in complex oscillator like tones for sure. I see both sides of it, like you I really enjoying building percussion from separate building blocks but I also appreciated a distilled and refined option in a smaller footprint. The advantage over the latter here is that all (or most) of those building blocks are exposed and it's still very modular, which led to me being able to push it around into more than just kicks.

I don’t need an exact replica of the sound (or would go to TipTop or other clones) but I need a Module that can offer a vaste range of bass(drums) in the 808s realm.
@DivKid2 ай бұрын
There's plenty of that 808 boom and lots of options to shape and customise (and modulate) all that with the Ultra Kick. I haven't had the ModBase here to really have much of an opinion or to compare the two. I'd also take a look at the Shakmat Battering Ram, much simpler and smaller but a good sound and capable of those sorts of booms too. I'd say the Ultra Kick is the most flexible with a wider range, but it's good to think about much range or how specific things need to sound.

I think the Portal is going to be worth it as a complex voice (thing goes into bonkers territory and sounds unique). But $800 is tough to justify if you look at it as just a kick drum(unless you have a trust fund or something). Rabid Elephant envelopes are some of the snappiest I have heard, and the build quality is the best I have personally ever seen. Portal is going to be sick. Lots of features (and dollars) for the Hp. But yeah, this is way more bang for your buck as a kick module.

If you're knew to it you could try making something similar in VCV Rack for free, get a feel for the patching and signal flow and see what you find. It's not the physical patch experience but lots of great sounds and trying out patches that you can save and come back to. But yeah SSF Kick, a clock with both a 1/4 and a 1/16 output and then you need 3 unique random outputs for the patch I made. So my module with SSF the 'RND STEP' is perfect for that. There's also a Doepfer random module that would be good for it too. You would need 3 of the Mosaic Randoms to get the 3 random voltages.
