A two-voice hi-hat synthesizer, closed and open, built from metallic noise and stepped digital texture, with real choke behavior between the two.
Hatz builds its closed and open voices from two different noise sources, Metals, a high-frequency square-wave oscillation, and Texture, a digital stepped noise, so the two hats can sit apart in character, not just in decay time, with independent 2-pole filters and CV control shaping each.
A choke switch lets the closed voice cut off the open one the way a real hi-hat pedal would, so the pair reads as one physical instrument instead of two unrelated triggers, while body control, linear or exponential decay, and an accent input with its own attenuator round out the drum-machine-style shaping on each channel.
Metals (high-frequency square-wave) and Texture (digital stepped noise) combine into each voice, with independent 2-pole filters and CV control per channel.
A choke switch lets the closed hat cut off the open one mid-ring, so the pair behaves like one physical hi-hat rather than two separate triggers.
Body control, linear or exponential decay, hold input, and an attenuated accent input shape each voice independently, with LED indicators on both.
Hatz is sold through Patching Panda’s dealer network rather than direct from the site.
