Noise snap percussion

Noise through the VCF with a ultra-short envelope — clap-ish and snare-ish layers.

Load preset in playground

Why it works

Noise is broadband; the filter chooses the band — high cutoff for hiss, lower for body.

Percussion is envelopes first, oscillators second.

On the SH-01A

  1. Raise NOISE level; lower oscillator if needed.

  2. VCF: high FREQ, moderate RES, minimal ENV MOD.

  3. ENV: zero A/D, zero S, short R.
