Due to a few considerations (including popular demand) we have decided on releasing a new edition of the PĒRKONS HD-01 now in an all-new sleek black finish!  We are pleased to see the enjoyment the PĒRKONS has brought to users worldwide over the past two years despite the numerous production setbacks we have encountered along the way. From studio setups to clubs it is heartwarming to see our thunderous creation inspiring electronic musicians to express themselves in new ways and most importantly – to have fun while doing so.  To celebrate its success we have decided to transform the beast by giving it a new demeanour – a timelessly black finish to match our other instruments and to visually complement the dark aesthetic that has become synonymous with Erica Synths modules and desktop instruments all over the world. The original edition in jet fighter cockpit blue will remain a unique piece of music instrument history and hopefully cherished by the owners of these now discontinued units PĒRKONS features four sonically versatile hybrid voices (digital sound engine + analogue multimode filter with overdrive) and a sequencer with simultaneous control over all four percussion tracks. Each voice has 3 sound engine modes, a HP/BP/LP filter and 8 controls for nuanced sound design, including an internal analogue BBD FX send. All voice parameter settings can be saved as KITS. To add dynamics to the performance, parameter automation is implemented and a modulation LFO can be assigned to all parameters. For a real thunderstorm, integration with external gear is considered - each voice has a dedicated velocity-sensitive trigger input, individual output and FX send and return with 6.3mm jack sockets, along with extensive MIDI implementation. All voices are summed and run through a built-in optical compressor and master overdrive. PĒRKONS HD-01 is a unique live performance and sound design instrument that tears down the borders between drum machine, synthesizer and drone instrument. Time to ride the skies!   Features:   4 hybrid voices (digital sound engine and analogue multimode filter with overdrive) 8 controls per voice Velocity sensitive trigger inputs for drum pads Individual voice outputs  Individual sends and returns 64 kit and 64 pattern memory + additional memory on the SD card Built-in analogue bucket brigade delay and optical compressor Modulation LFO with morphing waveforms, phase shift and 8 destinations 4 track sequencer, 4 time divisions and 4 time multiplications per track Per-step ratchets and probabilities  4 shuffle algorithms MIDI IN and MIDI OUT
