Snare Drum

What it does

808-style analog snare drum voice.

Wraps daisysp::AnalogSnareDrum. A file-scope prev_trig snapshot detects rising edges — wire a pad to Trig and each press fires once, not every sample.

Parameters

• Freq (Hz)

  freq
  Default 200Range 20 … 2000

  Pitch of the drum shell in Hz — the tuned part under the noise. Around 180–250 Hz is a conventional snare; higher gets you a rim or a timbale.

• Decay

  decay
  Default 0.3Range 0 … 1

  Length of the hit. Short is a tight studio snare, long lets the noise tail hang. Unitless — DaisySP maps this onto its own curve.

• Tone

  tone
  Default 0.5Range 0 … 1

  Brightness of the shell: 0 is dark and thuddy, 1 is bright and cracking.

• Snappy

  snappy
  Default 0.5Range 0 … 1

  Balance between the wires and the shell — 1 is pure snare rattle, 0 is the tuned drum with no noise at all. This is the single control that decides whether it reads as a snare or a tom.

• Accent

  accent
  Default 0.5Range 0 … 1

  Hit intensity, standing in for how hard the stick lands: it raises level and brightness together rather than acting as a plain volume.

• Infinite Sustain

  sustain
  Default false

  Makes the drum ring on indefinitely instead of decaying — the five resonators free-run, so you get a sustained metallic tone rather than a hit.
