Archer's Rig

AR-Building_Guide.pdf

A quiver full of sharp, cutting digital noise algorithms combined with a versatile analog processing chain — perfect for hi-hat and high-pitched percussion synthesis.
The Archer’s Rig module offers a hybrid analog/digital architecture delivering a wide palette of sounds, from classic hi-hats and shakers to innovative bells. Its digital audio generator includes 13 source algorithms and 9 audio effects, processed through an analog chain featuring filters, distortion, and a VCA.

With a randomizer, 96 preset memory slots, and Select Bus compatibility, this module is a powerful tool for crafting dynamic, personalized percussion sounds.
