PB808 Kick Drum

A 808 Kick Drum for the Paper Bits similar to the Paper-Synthesizer 808KD - Kick Drum Module. It runs on 5V, the pitch is voltage controlled and it can be triggered by any 5V pulse.
For getting some 808 drones one can set the “Decay” potentiometer on infinity.
It's a modified clone of the kick drum circuit of the Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer.
