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!

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.

"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."

JAde Wii Takes the New Limited Edition Erica Synths Perkons HD-01 in Black for a Spin

JAde Wii x Erica Synths Perkons HD-01 Drum Machine, First Encounter 👾 video upload by JAde Wii - https://www.jadewii.com/

via Erica Synths

"Introducing a truly unique and exquisite limited edition Pērkons HD-01 with an all-new sleek black finish and side panels crafted from handpicked wood and meticulously engraved using the mesmerizing Lichtenburg burning method.

The timelessly black finish of Pērkons HD-01 matches our other instruments and visually complements the dark aesthetic that has become synonymous with Erica Synths modules and desktop instruments all over the world. In addition the limited edition side panels are not just functional pieces of decor; they are works of art that effortlessly blend natural beauty with artisanal craftsmanship. Handpicked apple tree and plum wood brings a touch of orchard elegance, infusing each panel with the warmth and character of nature's bounty. The ash and oak wood, renowned for their durability and distinct grain patterns, provide a sturdy foundation for the intricate engravings.

But what truly sets these side panels apart is the mesmerizing Lichtenburg burning method employed in their creation. This technique, named after the physicist Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, involves applying high-voltage electricity to the wood's surface, resulting in striking patterns reminiscent of lightning strikes. The method has gained notoriety due to numerous incidents of death and severe injuries when people have attempted it at home, with at least 33 people having died between 2017 and 2022. Pērkons HD-01 engraved side panels have been hand made by Sandis Vāgners in the deep woods of Latvia. To prevent his certain death during the engraving process Erica Synths developed a special emergency power cut circuit."
