"ERICA SYNTHS HEXDRUMS — TWISTING KNOBS: Raw Out-Of-Box Sound Tour 🔊⚙️🎚️

No commentary — just the machine. A fast, out-of-the-box sound tour of the Erica Synths × Hexinverter HEXDRUMS.

Listen to each of the 10 voices (two kicks, Mutant Machine, snare, clap, rimshot, open/closed hi-hats and cymbal samples) as I twist knobs and show the raw character of the engine.

Perfect for synth heads who want immediate, honest sounds straight from the unit — no effects, no processing, no talk.

Erica Synths Hexdrums // First look - out of the box demo

video upload by Starsky Carr

"Get ready for a hands-on first look at the Erica Synths HEXDRUMS — a powerful, analog-style digital drum module designed for punchy, modern electronic production. It's really easy to get going - this is a zero-manual out of the box demo!! gulp :)

n this video I go through the Hexdrums sounds, create a basic pattern, and show a couple of performance tweaks so you can hear exactly what it can do live or in a studio environment.

Whether you're into techno, IDM, industrial, electro, or modular percussion, this demo shows the sonic character of the Hexdrums"

Techno Jam with Perkons HD-01 by ‪@EricaSynths‬ 🎛️

video upload by Yan Cook and PLAY VINYL

"I want to thank ‪@playvinylua‬ for lending me this machine for several days, I'll definitely use this opportunity to sample the beast 😃

My first impression — Perkons is BIG, really built like a tank, and feels very different from any drum machine I've used before. Each press of a button and turn of a knob feels significant—like I'm operating a submarine control panel or something. The sheer hands-on joy this instrument delivers is on another level; it's a machine you need to experience in person."

ERICA SYNTHS HEXDRUMS 06 // LØSTLVLS

video upload by LØSTLVLS

"A bit of 164bpm drum 'n' bass breakbeat action, Erica Synths HexDrums style! Yep, that's Amen Break samples you're hearing, uploaded to the Crash/Ride voices. :D

Check out my sample packs on Bandcamp - loads of vintage and modern gear (leaning towards drum machines) with kits, sample chains and presets. All ethically-sourced and locally-grown here in the lab in Bristol, UK: https://lostlvls.bandcamp.com/"

ERICA SYNTHS HEXDRUMS 03 // LØSTLVLS

video upload by LØSTLVLS

"My Hexdrums arrived a couple of days ago, and it's been great to get to know it away from the hustle and bustle of Machina Bristronica!

In this video you will hear two custom samples on the Crash and Ride (Cymbals) channel - an open hat and a clap. I find adding custom samples to this device really helps it cut through, and works great when layering them with the internal voices.

Antonus Step Brother with Elektor Formant by Erica Synths improvisation

video upload by Antonus

"Testing the finished Elektor Formant DIY KIT from Erica Synths.
Improvising using the Antonus Step Brother for play the Formant. Very special and particular sound and behaviour in the Formant, but the Step Brother connects in a very powerful way. I love how also they match in dimensions, Step Brother fits perfect on bottom of the Formant. Very fun and powerful combo!"

"Transient-only" LXR-02 kit with the Zen, Nightverb & Roger That

video upload by Richard DeHove

"This started as a little experiment: What would a transient-only drumkit sound like? Of course it's very clicky, like someone on "amateur talent night" playing a set of spoons. But the filters, LFOs, drive and sample-rate controls all still work so there's some wiggle room. First job is to disable the underlaying sound which, I finally discovered, is most simply achieved by switching everything into PWM mode and adjusting the PWM level.

When the thrill of slightly different flavors of click wears off the challenge becomes finding an effect to give it some deeper variation. The Zen, Nightverb and twin Roger That' all did wildly different things. The Nightverb was unexpectedly successfully especially using the pre-delay, feedback and shape controls to give a heavily gated feel. On the Roger That section I did use the morph parameter so strictly speaking it ceased being all-transient, but I thought the end result was worth a little rule-bending.

Solist 🎸(Roland JD08 + Bigsky + Pill // SE02 + H90 // TR6S // Erica Synths DB01 Bassline + Lethargy)

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"Let's go for a 5-Minute Warning video, with some real-time guitar-like sound solo playing! 😊

0:00 - Scene 1: Intro starts with the STRINGS (JD-08), ARP (SE-02) and DRUMS (TR-6S)

0:46 - Scene 2: DRUMS knob reload for big sound + BASS (DB-01)

1:17 - Scene 3: SOLO 1 improvised (JD-08)

2:02 - Scene 4: Bridge

3:04 - Scene 5: SOLO 2 improvised (JD-08)

3:50 - Scene 6: Outro

Some tips used here:

TR6S (DRUMS): I used the 'KIT KNOB RELOAD' feature to get back to the big drum sounds as it was saved in the kit (I previously moved the knobs to pitch up/down and reduce the decay of all the sounds for the intro)

TR6S (DRUMS): the VINYL SIM effect is used on the TR6S' master bus to heavily compress the DRUMS

TR6S (DRUMS): I used the internal LFO to modulate a few parameters on the DRUM tracks to add some subtle variations

KEYSTEP PRO (Sequencer): I used the Chain feature to chain 2 patterns in order to have an 8-bar pattern for the ARP sequences

KEYSTEP PRO (Sequencer): I used the Scene feature to load different patterns and mutes in one time (to switch to the bridge for example)"
