Since firmware V1.2 Pērkons can load samples and we are here with a brand new kit pack to inspire your next sonic adventure with Pērkons. New samples and kits carefully crafted by Hrtl focus on showing the synthesizer side of your favorite drum machine, allowing you to create acid basslines, rich dub chords or classic rave stabs.

IMPORTANT:
To really unleash the potential of the Rompler engine, you should enable the alternate PARAM2 behavior on Voice 4 / Algo 3 so that it affects the "Sample Start" parameter. Go to Settings (SHIFT+MOD) and enable the function by pressing the 1st step key of the bottom step-button-row.

Install the kits by copying the "SAMPLES" folder onto your Pērkons SD card and placing the “02” folder onto your Pērkons SD card BANKS folder. The bank containing the new kits is called "02" which means it will replace the third bank you may already have on your Pērkons unit, so if you want to put it in a different BANK just rename the folder (e.g. to 03) before putting it in the BANKS folder! The pack only contains kits and has no patterns in it!


To change the currently loaded BANK, press and hold the PATTERN+KIT buttons and one of the 64 step buttons (to load the 02 BANK, press the third step button).

When you enter the Kit menu, the lower 32 step buttons will light up. From left to right, the kits range from punchy percussive sounds to crazy modulated drones.

The remaining 32 kits in the bank are empty and reserved for your own kits and variations of the presets.

Enjoy!
