What I can see

  • SSF Ultra-Kick is visible in the patch.
  • Entity Ultra-Perc is visible in the patch.
  • Pachinko is visible in one of the wider shots.
  • The patch uses several colored patch cables, with the percussion voices wired into a broader control/modulation setup.

Analysis

  • This reads as a layered percussion experiment rather than a single drum voice.
  • Ultra-Kick suggests a dedicated kick path with envelope, pitch, and decay shaping.
  • Ultra-Perc suggests a second percussion voice for accents, toms, or metallic/transient percussion.
  • Pachinko likely adds probabilistic or generative triggering/modulation, which fits the overall rhythmic feel.
  • The setup looks like it is trying to balance a stable kick backbone with a more variable percussive texture.

What to try next

  • Split the patch into a clear kick lane and a separate accent lane.
  • Use one clocked source for the kick and a more probabilistic source for the percussive layer.
  • Record short A/B takes: straight pattern, then randomized variation, to hear where the patch is strongest.
