SWITCH

This jack allows triggering KICK LANCET with a simple switch contact with a short circuit. You may 
use a common foot pedal with an A-contact. Naturally, dynamic aspects will not be reflected using 
this method.

AUDIO

This input allows triggering KICK LANCET by any audio source. Naturally, the quality of this function 
is highly depending upon the audio signal itself. Only clear percussive sound signals will result in 
usable results. A reasonable sound source would be the individual output of a drum machine for 
example. This way, an old drum machine with PCM sounds can be easily combined with the deep 
and rich sound of KICK LANCET.

Because of the similarity of the signals, this input may also be used to connect a drum pad.

The input’s sensitivity can be adjusted using the submerged trim pot next to the 

AUDIO

 jack.

The function of the AUDIO jack can be specified by MIDI control command #85. You need to send a 
corresponding value (0 or 1) on the set MIDI-channel to KICK LANCET:

CC# 85 Value

Description

fixed volume

 

The sound of KICK LANCET will be triggered with a fixed volume,

the input signal.
