ERICA SYNTHS HEXDRUMS | Analog Drum Machine | Collaboration W/ Hexinverter

HexDrums

Drum Synthesizer and Sequencer

The industrial magic of Erica Synths techno weapons, fused with the DNA of Hexinverter’s mutant circuits is brought to life as the HexDrums - an analog drum machine forged out of deep respect for traditional designs with innovative improvements and the combined spellwork of its makers. Combining the range and flexibility of sounds by Hexinverter with the hands-on, no nonsense layout and aesthetics of Erica Synths, the Hexdrums offers the distilled, iconic essence of analog electronic drums in a practical form factor.

The HexDrums has 10 sound sources, mostly based on the great sounding Hexinverter Mutant series of percussion modules: two kick drums for different (or combined) flavours – the BD9 and Bass drum, an optimized Mutant Machine, Snare drum, Clap, Rimshot and HiHats.

To complete the setup, Erica Synths Cymbals have been added, featuring 10 sets of crash and ride cymbal samples. All drums have individual outputs and in the master section, they are panned in the stereo field before being sent into the Compressor and Master Drive, derived from the Mutant Glue. A hands-on and easy-to-program sequencer provides nuanced, up to 64-step pattern design, accents, per-step microtiming, ratchets, rolls, per-step probability and a memory of 16 banks with 16 patterns each.
