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."

MACHINA BRISTRONICA LØSTLVLS

Playlist:

1. - 4. ERICA SYNTHS HEXDRUMS 01 - 04 // MACHINA BRISTRONICA '25 // LØSTLVLS

I got to spend some quality time with the Hexdrums - it sounds really beefy and each voice has a tonne of sweet spots. The Hexdrums has loads of saturation available, is built to a high standard and feels very performative. This is the first of four videos.

Check out my samples on Bandcamp - loads of vintage and modern drum machines and more, all samples ethically-sourced and locally-grown here in the lab in Bristol, UK: https://lostlvls.bandcamp.com/

5. ERICA SYNTHS PERKONS HD-01 // MACHINA BRISTRONICA '25 // LØSTLVLS

The formidable Perkons HD-01 was available at Machina Bristronica - how could I resist? For my money the Perkons is the most 'jammable' and gratifying drum machine on the market, hands-down. The person using it before filming this session was dancing and really enjoying their time with it. Was a joy to witness!

6. MODOR DR-2 // MACHINA BRISTRONICA '25 // LØSTLVLS

The excellent DR-2 drum machine from Modor aka Marcel Belmans. Was a treat to finally meet Marcel and discuss his creations. In this video Marcel kindly demonstrated the DR-2 for us.

7. BODY SYNTHS METAL FETISHIST x2 // MACHINA BRISTRONICA '25 // LØSTLVLS

Been wanting to check this little weirdo out for some time - two is even better!

SOLAR 42 | Erica Synths PERKONS HD-01

video upload by ELTA music

"ELTA MUSIC - SOLAR 42F
Erica Synths - PERKONS HD-01
Gamechanger Audio - FX pedal

SOLAR 42 is a unique experimental electro-music instrument, an analogue microtonal ambient drone machine. It will inspire you to find a new and spontaneous approach to composing music.
The instrument is oriented for live performances, creating film soundtracks, theatre soundtracks, atmospheric sounds, microtonal and background music. The instrument was inspired by early electronic musical instruments of the 1920s and 1950s, notably Leo Theremin's «Harmonium» instrument, as well as science fiction film soundtracks."

Complete Techno + Dark Ambient palette: Perkons Voice deep dive demo

video upload by Dave Mech

"Here I'm showing the Perkons Voice eurorack module by Erica Synths which conveniently gives us access to all the wondrous Perkons HD-01 sounds but in 1/16th the size. Sure, it doesn't have the amazing sequencing capabilities but it does offer other interesting capabilities, like patch selection modulation and in general CV control over all parameters, which can yield beautiful results. And it's possible to get decay layers to up to 4 voices. So lots of drone and ambient sound source capabilities!

Erica Synths Introduces Perkons Voice Eurorack Module

video upload by Erica Synths

"Erica Synths Perkons Voice is a eurorack incarnation of the percussion voices from the PERKONS HD-01 Drum machine. Like on the drum machine, the module has hybrid architecture, featuring a digital sound engine followed by an analogue multi-mode filter and overdrive. Users can select among 13 sound generation algorithms and save up to 99 presets that can be recalled easily. Tune and Patch CV inputs are configurable for various CV settings and are tuned to 1V/oct. Module also features a 4-voice poly overlap mode and samples on the "Rompler" engine can be easily replaced.

Timeline:

00:00 - Take 1 / 2x Perkons Voices sequenced with Black Sequencer
00:48 - Take 2 / Scrolling through factory presets
01:52 - Take 3 / Sequencing patches with Black Sequencer
02:23 - Take 4 / Playing with 4-voice poly overlap mode
02:58 - Take 5 / Sequencing snare and adding various CV modulations
04:38 - Take 6 / Self generating patch with Perkons Voice, Modulator and Stereo FX
05:35 - Take 7 / Patches sequenced with Black Sequencer
06:22 - Take 8 / More 4-voice poly overlap exploration
08:08 - Take 9 / Patch with 3x Perkons Voices as sound sources
08:30 - Take 10 / 4x Cowbell grains. Setting decay to to max makes sample to loop
10:25 - Take 11 / Wall of Karplus. Mega drone with voice overlap triggered and modulated with Befall rampage"

"Here's my personal take on this fascinating and rather exotic piece of hardware from Erica Synths. I've had it for a couple of months, I'm by no means an expert, but I thought I would share with you the way in which I am experimenting with Perkons and integrating it into my studio."

video upload by Group Technologies Australasia

"Here's our little jam for Make Music Day using the Perkons HD-01 from Erica Synths, along with Elektron Octatrack and Analog Heat+FX. What music are you making?

In this video the Perkons is running into the Octatrack, which is live sampling and re-slicing the Perkons' audio. All audio is being processed by the Analog Heat+FX whilst adding a little reverb too."
