Erica Synths Hexinverter Mutant Bass Drum
If you crave that iconic TR-808 bassdrum sound with a powerful modular twist, the Erica Synths Hexinverter Mutant Bass Drum delivers exactly that. This module combines vintage analogue synthesis with cutting-edge voltage controlled distortion, creating thunderous kicks that stand out in any mix.
Legendary Bassdrum Circuitry Reborn
At its core is an analogue bassdrum circuit that recreates the classic TR-808 sounds. However, Erica Synths and Hexinverter didn’t stop there. They redesigned it from the ground up for modular systems. Thus, ensuring pristine sound quality through a hi-fi signal chain that swaps out cheap transistor amplifiers for low noise opamps. This means your kicks come through clear and powerful every time.
Voltage Controlled Distortion for Creative Freedom
Moreover, the built-in batteryACID distortion adds a unique grit to your sound and can be controlled via voltage. Plus, it accepts external inputs when not paired with the kick drum, opening doors for wild acid synth leads or experimental textures. This flexibility allows you to tailor each hit just the way you want it.
Expressive Voltage Control Options
Control the decay length from tight barrel bursts to long, booming ooomphs. Adjust pitch voltage to approximate v/oct response. Also, thanks to non-invasive analogue optocouplers, preserve vintage authenticity or explore fresh tonal territory. This module empowers your sound design with hands-on analog control.
