ANALOG DRUM GENERATION:

VCA envelope

decay amount

sd/cp tail:

sets the amount

for both snare's snappy part

and clap's tail decay

spoiler adjusts the 
crunchiness of the noise parts
in kick, snare and clap

sets the tone/
perceived pitch 
of the of clap

CV inputs for the accent/velocity. CV input range: 0...+5v
Accents acts as VCA/velocity but also accent some other parts of the drums.
