Tubbutec — 6m0d6
Certainly! Here’s a concise cheat sheet for the LPZW & Tubbutec 6m0d6 Eurorack Drum Module based on the manual you provided. This guide covers essential usage, controls, inputs/outputs, and voltage ranges.
6m0d6 Quick Reference Cheat Sheet
Overview
- 7 Analog Drum Voices: Bass Drum, Snare Drum, Low Tom, High Tom, Cymbal, Open Hihat, Closed Hihat
- Enhanced parameter set for each drum (beyond classic TR-606)
- CV + MIDI control, Dynamic triggers
- Individual outs and mix out
Inputs and Outputs
Instrument Triggers
- 7 x Trigger Inputs (BD, SD, LT, HT, CY, OH, CH)
- Voltage: 1V to 15V
- Trigger > 1V = fire drum
- Individual instrument can be patched or normalized from LINK/MIDI
Accent Section
- Accent Amount (AC.AMT)
- CV input: 0V to 5V (acts as gain/attenuator for instrument when accent ON)
- Accent Gate
- Gate input: On/Off (normalised to ON, can be set to OFF via config)
- Accent Amount Knob
- Manual accent/gain control if jack unpatched
Decay CV Inputs
- SN.Dec, CY.Dec, HH.Dec
- CV decay control for Snare, Cymbal, and Hihats
- Bipolar: -5V to +5V
Noise / Metal Modulation
- Noise Tune CV: (controls lofi/bit-crush character or noise tuning)
- Metal Tune CV: (1V/oct compatible, plays metal layer chromatically)
- Metal Spread CV: +/-5V (detune spread between the 6 oscillators)
LINK Input
- Tubbutec 6equencer connectivity for direct triggering & accenting via back panel LINK
MIDI IN
- TRS MIDI A & B (autodetect)
- Drum triggers on Channel 10 (see mapping table)
- Accent: Velocity 127 or note 34/A#1 held
- Velocity < 64: shorter pulse (lower volume), more dynamic
- Can play "metal" voice as 6-voice synth via Channel 1
Outputs
- 7 x Individual Outs: (BD, SD, LT, HT, CY, OH, CH)
- Patch cable here removes drum from Mix Out
- 1 x Mix Out: summed signal of all drums not patched individually
Front Panel Controls
Global / Shared
- Accent Amount Pot
- Accent Gate Jack
- Accent CV Jack
- Mixer Out
- CY.Pulse Button: Toggles cymbal pulse shaping / enters config menu (hold 3+ sec)
Instrument Parameters (per drum, varies by voice)
- Tune (BD, SD, LT, HT, CY)
- Tone/Body (BD, CY)
- Decay (BD, SD, LT, HT, CY, OH, CH)
- Click (BD)
- Snappy (SD)
- Noise Source (Switch: Noise, Metal, XOR) (SD, CY, HH)
- Metal Tune, Metal Spread (CY, HH)
- Pulse Shape Select (CY/Pulse Button) - disables pulse shaping for CY to allow "drone/string" sounds
Hihat & Cymbal Specials
- Swap: Inverts Open/Closed hihat order
- OH.Decay, CH.Decay
- CY.Pulse: enables/disables trigger length gating
Tom Specials
- HT Tune, LT Tune
- Sub Tom: drops LT by 1 octave (toggle)
- Noise Amt: alters reverb (noise-based)
Config Menu
- Enter: Hold
CY.Pulse button 3 seconds
- Accent Gate Normalization: Use
M.Tune knob (left=OFF, right=ON)
- Exit: Press
CY.Pulse again (config saved)

Metal Synthesis: MIDI Channel 1, play up to 6-note chords on CY/HH/SD metal source
Voltage Ranges Recap
- All CV & modulation inputs: -5V to +5V (survives up to +/-12V)
- Trigger/Accent Inputs: 1V to 15V
- Accent Amount: 0V–5V
- Metal Tune: 1V/oct compatible
Quick Tips
- CV all "tune/decay/spread" parameters for evolving, expressive rhythms
- Plug individual outputs to isolate sounds; unplug for MIX OUT
- MIDI for deep, velocity-sensitive control; external CC for parameter automation
- Use Metal and XOR noise sources for highly experimental timbres
- Hold CY.Pulse for config, adjust M.Tune knob for Accent Gate norm
- Play chords on MIDI Ch.1 for metallic 6-voice pseudo-synth sounds
