Analog Snare

808/909-inspired analog-style snare drum. Wider, warmer and noisier than the Digital Snare.

Available on: Track 3
Built on: Mutable Instruments Plaits — analog_snare_drum model.

Character

Two detuned resonant modes shaped by a fast envelope, plus a filtered noise burst — the classic analog snare signature. Low tone gives deep, thumpy snares; high tone gives cracking, metallic hits.

Snap	Accent	—	—	—

Tone

Parameter	Range	What it does	DSP
Freq	low → high	Base pitch of the tonal body	f0
Tone	dark → bright	Brightness of the body modes	tone
Decay	short → long	Snare tail length	decay
Snap	body → snap	Balance between body and noise layer	snappy

Snap

Parameter	Range	What it does	DSP
Accent	soft → hard	Velocity / emphasis	accent

Higher Snap for noisy rimshot-style hits; lower Snap for pitched, tom-like snares.
