TOMS909 Toms

Tiptop Audio TOMS909

TOMS909 is an essential percussion module that specializes in the generation of—wait for it—analog toms! The module produces sounds that as warm and vintage as one would expect from a TR-909 progeny.

TOMS909 features the original TR-909’s low, mid, and high tom circuits and has been rigorously tested to ensure compliance with the aesthetic allure of the ’80s. Not content to serve as a mere emulation, Tiptop has extended the tuning range of each tom for softer bass on the lower end and pristine highs on the top. And since all of the toms are under voltage control, users can remotely manipulate the pitch and tuning to generate an array of esoteric percussive sounds.
