Perkons HD-01 BLACK

PĒRKONS HD-01 is a unique live performance and sound design instrument that tears down the borders between drum machine, synthesizer, and drone instrument.

EDU DIY Drum Sequencer

Most drum sequencers are complex machines – packed with buttons and LEDs, all driven by a microcontroller. For the mki x es.edu DIY Drum Sequencer kit, we decided to take the opposite approach: a hands-on rhythm engine with a minimalist interface, built from just a handful of logic chips. Each of the sequencer’s four channels is programmed in real time using a single button. Patterns loop automatically, can be shortened on the fly, and support half-time playback for slower, evolving grooves. Accents are handled using synced LFOs, while a simple resistor-DAC turns patterns into stepped control voltages – perfect for modulating pitch, decay, or other parameters. Whether you’re looking to learn about sequencer design, sharpen your soldering skills, or just want a drum sequencer that plays like an instrument, this DIY kit packs surprising depth into a refreshingly simple interface.

Steampipe

The Steampipe is a true physical modeling synthesizer developed in close collaboration between Erica Synths and the Dutch company 112dB.

MIDI Dispatch

The MIDI DISPATCH (MIDI dispatcher) is a successor to our first-ever desktop unit - the MIDI THRU BOX and it adds a lot of useful features to make it an easy-to-use, hands-on command center of your studio setup. In essence, it is an ultra-low latency splitter from one MIDI input to eight outputs with advanced MIDI filtering options. It allows for connecting up to eight instruments to your MIDI keyboard, sequencer and directly to your laptop via USB-C. You can configure each output separately allowing for high flexibility in any studio or live setting.

Echolocator

A unique stereo delay with an algorithm developed by 112db.com. The Echolocator is a hands-on precision tool that lets you take manual and very musical control over small nuances. Like a bat navigating its environment in the dark, you can feel your way through your live performances and shape the delay response and character on the fly. Featuring 12 parameters for detailed sound design, save/recall functions for all parameters, MIDI control over all parameters and a sleek aluminium case to match our lineup of compact desktop units, the Echolocator will let your setup take flight in any live show, studio or sonic experiment.

Nightverb

A stereo reverb with a unique and musical algorithm developed by 112db, save/recall functions for all parameters, all in sleek aluminum case to aesthetically match our lineup of compact desktop units.

Perkons Voice

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 multimode 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.

Bullfrog

Created by Erica Synths & Richie Hawtin, Bullfrog is an educational electronic music instrument designed to captivate and inspire both youth and professionals alike. Bullfrog invites you to unlock musicality while combining the thrill of electronic music production with a comprehensive learning experience.

Graphic Resonant FB

The Graphic Resonant Filterbank (FB) is a ten-band analogue filterbank with digital control over each bands’ boost or cut. Each band can be controlled individually via CV or manually, while complex control configurations turn the filterbank into an unconventional multimode filter and even an instrument in its own right when played with various resonance settings. The Expander module (works exclusively with the Graphic Resonant Filterbank and is available separately) provides hands-on adjustment of boost and cut for all bands.

Hexinverter Bundle

Introducing four re-issues of classic Hexinverter drum modules – the Mutant Bass Drum, Mutant Snare, Mutant Clap and Mutant Hihats! These modules are perfect for anyone with a taste for classic TR808/909 sounds, but with a greatly expanded tonal range with voltage control over parameters and, of course, optional high distortion!

Hexinverter Mutant BD9

A combination of voltage-controlled distortion and the iconic flavour of the TR-909, Hexinverter’s take on this iconic Bass Drum in modular format gives it more power, grit and flexibility. The primary analog VCO offers classic 909-esque sinusoidal bassdrums, but can also be switched to generate a square wave bassdrum.
