Erica Synths Hexinverter Mutant Hi-Hats
Dive into the world of classic electronic percussion with a fresh twist. The Erica Synths Hexinverter Mutant Hihats bring the legendary TR-808 open and closed hihat sounds to your modular synth setup — but reimagined for modern creativity and sonic exploration.
Authentic Synthesis Meets Versatility
This module uses analogue circuitry to faithfully reproduce the iconic TR-808 hihat tones, while adding flexible features like an external audio input that lets you craft hihats from virtually any sound source. Whether you want classic or innovative textures, this unit delivers.
Enhanced Sound Quality and Control
Erica Synths upgraded the original design by replacing lo-fi VCAs with modern OTA-based versions for cleaner and richer output. Plus, the VCA DRIVE control lets you morph the hihat sound from soft metallic delicacy to hard-hitting crunchy overdrive — perfect for dynamic performances.
Carefully Engineered for Modular Excellence
With controls like cutoff frequency for a resonant bandpass filter and an exclusive switch for how open and closed hihats interact when triggered together, this module offers depth and nuance in your rhythm programming. The non-invasive analogue optocouplers preserve vintage sound character, and the hi-fi signal chain ensures your beats sound pristine.
