Half-legal

A low tom-like snare.

The signal follows 2 parallel paths.

Path 1: The noise through the filter, then to VCA-A.

Path 2: The oscillators into VCA-B.

Midi pitch and envelope B are summed to control the VCO’s pitch. This simulates the pitch sweep effect created when a snare’s heads stop vibrating at different times.
