Battering Ram is an intuitive percussion voice based on a specialized design by Marc Nostromo, built to deliver immense low-end power without the frustration of hidden menus. The core of the module centers on four primary controls that dictate the weight, snap, and character of the kick. It moves beyond simple sine waves by incorporating a dedicated Drive section, allowing you to toggle between a complex two-stage wavefolder for harmonically rich saturation and a high-gain clipping circuit for industrial-strength grit.

The module behaves with a high degree of musicality, particularly when exploring the relationship between the click transient and the pitch envelope. By adjusting the dedicated Depth control, you can transition from a tight, clinical thud to a sweeping, pitch-bent bass drum that maintains its impact even in dense mixes. While it is a formidable percussion source, the V/Oct tracking and expandable five-octave range allow it to double as a powerful bassline or tom synthesizer. It integrates into a modern workflow via a built-in preset system for instant recall and a dedicated envelope output that can be inverted to handle ducking duties across your entire rack.
