The CP88 is an accurate replica of the TR808 Hand Clap sound. The module is entirely discrete analogue circuitry, based as closely as possible on the original.

With the additional controls not found on the TR808, a wide range of sounds can be produced, not just claps.

Inputs:
Trigger socket 5-12V
Accent socket 0-12V

Outputs:
3.5mm audio out
6.35mm audio out

Power:
+/-12V

Controls:
BP Filter, Snappy, Decay, Level

Indicators:
Trigger LED

Size:

Use

The trigger input has a range of about 5 to 12V. A trigger pulse of around 1mS is recommended, although the gate output of a synth can be used. A larger trigger pulse will increase the level of the sound (accent the notes). When the accent socket is used, the trigger input socket only triggers the sound and the level of the sound is controlled by the voltage of the CV at the accent socket. The accent voltage can be from another trigger pulse generator, or from an LFO or Envelope. When using for example an LFO, you can have the level changing with the LFO sweep.

The trigger LED will light each time a trigger pulse is received.

Controls

BPF Band Pass Filter cut-off control -changes the filtering of the noise

Snappy Controls the level of noise in the `clap' part of the sound.

Decay This alters the decay time of the `reverb' partof the sound.

Level Sets output level
