Ride Cymbal Module
I expanded the controls and modded the It’s A Trap! sizzle cymbal. I was using this Zildjian Custom K 20" Dry Ride as a reference:
It’s not quite there yet. Still working on it.

Sounds great! Would be awesome if it was simplified for just two sounds - bell and cymbal. Looking for a good ride with just 2-3 controls to put in the new library.
I can get the bell out of that… One sec…

Again, it still needs some love. I’ll get on making a switch button between the bell and rim soon.

Respect to the original patcher. Credit due. Anyone know who made it? It’s in the module library. Biminiroad… I’m looking in your direction…
Looking forward to the compact module. This is really useful. One thing I like about Dinky’s Taiko is that I can get something tighter going on it, then once I get other things going, go back to it, open it up, modulate it, etc.
Any ideas or mods welcomed. Not really getting the “ping” of the stick right. Thinking that’d need a 3rd channel.

Made a simple edition for you skinny peeps. Constant knobs inside patch for ya’ tweekers.

For what it’s worth, as they say…
My understanding of some appraches to modular is to provide a set a variables that, when adjusted, break out familiar tropes into new possibilities. In this vein, the “skinny” version is a little boring. The more full bodied version had some excitement. Basically, I think it is tempting to make “nerd” versions and “for dummies” versions. However, personally I like some destructive/sculpting parameters on the face, but not so many that when you are performing/recording, you go down too many blind alleys.
If we all put the filters/delays just at a particular setting, we get interesting types of synthesis (karplus, for example). And its fun to play Hordijk. But for a ride voice, I would think there should be a nice balance here. That is to say, please make the “skinny” a little less condescending.

Coming along very nicely. Sounds a lot like old school 1970’d synth drums 
Thanks man. Teamwork. Go team!

I have been messing around with percussion modules as well. Here is a ride cymbal I patched up, it’s fun to compare and contrast.
Hmmm… Sounds like you got the shrill and ping worked out way better. Going to have to look into what you did.
And automation was going to be my next step. I’ve been studying the real ride sounds and it seems like the frequencies sweep up a bit. (Listening and working with the sound more: Not sure if it’s the actual pitch of the cymbal sweeping or just different overtones coming and going…)
lol. Oh man, I looked inside and it’s like a freaking foreign language.
I am ring modulating the oscillator bank.
most definitely!
Hehe! I think we have the same basic architecture, lots of oscillators into some filters.
I chose coprime frequencies and then ring modulated them for extra dissonance. I also made a crossfade between the sin and triangle waveforms and a crossfade between the dissonant chord and the ring modulated side bands. So “S/T” is for sine to triangle and “SB” is the amount of inharmonic sidebands (approximately). “Fc” is the center frequency of the filter, and “Q” is the resonance. I will make SVG faces for these since I am pretty happy with the design right now.
That perc’ed me right up!
