This is mainly because percussion circuits are quite complex and dense. They mash a ton of different functional blocks – oscillators, envelopes, VCAs, filters etc. – into super efficient little packages. And they achieve that by taking shortcuts left and right, in sometimes surprising and unintuitive ways. Which makes them even less approachable. So I decided to cut my teeth on simpler single-purpose circuits first. Now that I’ve covered all of the essentials though, I felt it’s time to give
