The Bastl Instruments Tea Kick is universal analog circuit which is based on an improved version of twin T resonant structure. The basic principle or this drum is to create virtual electronic membrane which you strike with electricity than the membrane vibrates and created very natural drum wave form which when outputted to a speaker (another membrane) sounds very natural. To adjust such membrane we have TUNE and RESONANCE control. Think of adjusting those as if tuning an acoustic drum. There is a CV input for tuning the circuit so it can sound from bass drum through all the toms to woodblock. There is main TUNE control knob for the tuning and also CV Input with ATTENUATOR.



Beyond the drum: Tea kick can be either used as predictable drum circuit or can go totally nuts as an experimental oscillator. There is several ways how to route inputs and outputs to generate feedback loops to generate signal. However there are several ways that you can use it to modify and filter signal from another VCO. It is highly recommended to route any oscillator to the trigger input. There is a lot to explore in here!
