4-voice drum machine. 3x DRUMMERGIRL + 1x Wavetable VCO/ADSR/VCA, per-voice equal-power pan, master QBRT filter, stereo out.

A 4-voice drum/synth machine with a built-in aux-FX rack. Voices 1-3 are DRUMMERGIRL synth-drum voices (one-shot, tuned, with tone/shape/decay), and voice 4 is a sustaining melodic voice — a wavetable oscillator → ADSR → VCA — so RIOTGIRLS covers both percussion AND a playable pad/bass. Each voice has its own TRIGGER and GATE input plus a V/oct PITCH input (voices 1-3 retrigger on the edge; voice 4 holds its envelope while the gate is high), and a full mix strip (pitch/tone/shape/decay or tune/wave/ADSR, plus VOLUME, PAN, and two aux SENDS). The two aux buses feed an internal effects rack: SEND A → a DESTROY bitcrusher, SEND B → a reverb, each with a level RETURN back into the master. The summed stereo mix then runs through a master QBRT resonant filter (cutoff / resonance / mode / ping-decay) out to outL/outR. Every knob also has a CV input, so an LFO or sequencer can modulate any voice or FX parameter. Drive the voices from a SEQUENCER, DRUMSEQZ, or any gate source.
