In summary an inductor for bass cut (Pleiades filter) was connected in parallel to cut the heavy bassiness perception to our brain. The bass drum now sounds like a bright and full bass electric bass drum as heard in a greatly produced dance record.
Feeding the Sony TCD5 pro input after the DI really thickens the sound too. No hiss. Just great sound. The simpler the signal path the better.
The sounmaster drum pedals are full analog and hardwired pattern ones. No CPU. Just descrete transistors for great electronic analog drum sounds. Was this the drum machine used as the tempo basis for the drummer to play the Love to Love you Baby - Giorgio Moroder.
Signal path:
Soundmaster black color drum machine pedal - Canford Neutrik DI transformer inside the Neutrik 1/4in jack - Pleiades 82mH (gentle 6 dB per octave low cut filter at a high turnover frequency because of 82mH parallel inductance only) - Sony TCD5 pro without pad - Sennheiser HD580
Fletcher Manson equal loudness curves is the reason the bass drum sounds so great from this process?
As a radio station technician from Epikinonia FM Athens has said. You need to cut the bass so that you can hear deep bass.
Low cutting the bass drum was done on the Beatles records as Geoff Emerick explains. They had to mix for mono. And this was the great way to let the bass guitar shine through.
