PĒRKONS HD-01 sound demo 

It finally arrived and I melted the paint off the walls with it in fifteen minutes. Nothing comes close to how much fun this perfect example of a drum synth that is totally performable literally is. Erica synths knocked it out of the park! 👽🙏

I wish I liked these genres of music, because the gear looks sick.

Very satisfying sounds. I love the bass drones and sub-basses. But then I also like how the snare, somehow just about grounds it in the familiar. Nice chewy hats too. The official drum machine of the Miami dolphins. But the Drexciyan Cetaceans, not the ballers.

It's great to hear more of a range of the possible sounds this beast can make, thank you!

This sounds crazy good. I'll never possess it but I'll love hearing it play for sure!

Incredible machine and workmanship! The good thing about this is that it won't need activations or drivers or the usual computer stuff

By far the best Erica product.

Badass

Oh... This is insane.... So happy to see that mighty Latvian circuit benders didn't gone anywhere.... Beat wishes from Lithuania brāļi 🙏👍👌

That is literally beautiful! One day…….

this thing is a work of art

Just bought one can't wait to try it out!!

the quality is out of this world.. am just listening and holy cow. BTW Joel's brought me here after he bought a full eurorack lmao

Great demo! Love the first track, the werk! Dnb track is heat. Bass business and business bass both bangers. As well as the sounds you put together in other tracks

Sounds amazing. Dope ass beats KODEK!

Thanks for the demos! However, it would be nice to have an update for everyone who already preordered, as the price recently went up by 50€ and delivery date has been pushed back to end of August. Also, it is currently not available for preorder anymore in your shop, as opposed to what is stated in the video description. I‘m not trying to be pushy, really just looking forward to explore my unit - but a bit more communication would be great. Nobody is mad at you when supply chain issues are a problem again, but just let us know.

Erica got the power to make huge demo out of classic fields like techno, boombap and all of these known patterns

Love the glitchy tech from 9 mins on Very impressed

That's one of the best Drum n Bass compositions I've heard yet out of a synth box.

With new gear like this I always like to play guess the price. I’m usually way out. Great sounding machine 😀👍

Woa, this is really good at those DNB and dubstep sounds.

That color is so fucking awsome

Looks like you can make a whole lp with just this instrument

Beautiful moment 10:56

What a beast of a machine

It’s one beautiful machine 😍

Oh, my! That color reminds me the one of a NSU Prinz of the late 60s...

Beast! Live performances await!

They've somehow managed to distill Mick Harris into a sexy box! Bravo Sirs!

The beat at 5:13 is just too good

Good sound and quality build is worth the money! ❤

I could hear MC Ride yelling over the first beat! Amazing stuff!

Liking the way it sounds...

It has been a long time that I have actually been excited about a new instrument.... Except Moog One ;). This instrument is going to be my go to for drums besides the Techno System and Elektron Rythm MKII, Soma Pulsar.

Sucks that I am so broke right now, otherwise I would get this in a heartbeat! Would be the perfect companion to my SYNTRX!

Fantastic machine.

Whoah whoah wee wahhhh

WOW! This eats the competition

This sound is what I really want

10 из 10. Просто невероятно звучит. 👍

Best drum machine ever!

This demo is insanely good

This is my WFH music right now. Lets goooo

Fresh! Extreme drum machine for real

iwant one lol so sick! 10:28 banger!!

Goi g hard on soma designs lol looks like a Lyra-8 fused with Roland tr

it's been a while since i've heard dubstep with wobble bass in a demo...

Been a while since I felt this way, I want one

pulsar 23 + PĒRKONS HD-01 = H ! S ! experimental madness ! 10/10

simply gorgeous... perfect rythmn machine

In the first jam around 56 seconds, it looks like he's live triggering the ratchets temporarily? What's going on there? Would be a sick trick, but the manual doesn't mention it.

That's a really fine sounding hardware there you have, indeed!

Being that I just ordered one, would love to start seeing some tutorial video's.

Boop boop boop!

Great human, I'm sure they could make any piece of gear sound good in a demo. Which I think is a point lots of people will miss in a video like this sadly. The person using the machine is obviously highly skilled at both sound design and musical composition. It's like watching Slash or Jimmy Page demo the latest guitars - they will all sound great in their hands regardless of the instrument and its quality. The Perkons seems great but it will not give people new ideas or skills, that has to come with practise and effort, like any task in life.

I like sounds D&B at 2.27

wow sound♥♥love

I want that. Its beautifull and sounds awesome!

This is the best demo so far. Good stuff.

Wish it didn't cost 2k but still feel it'd be a better investment than the new OP-1...

I love it, is there anybody else who is hearing Sonic Charge/Microtoniq VST at 2:54 till 6.50 :) what an incredible drum machine but very expensive, so i keep it with Microtoniq :(

Ooooh, sounds amazing

I have Combined it with the I/IV from Division Dept. that and a SP-2400 from Isla to Voice Up a Little. Don't even use my RYTM MK 1 anymore because the HD-1 is much better for the Sound I imagine, which goes into Dark and Industrial-ish and Experimental Areas. I also needed to sell some stuff to get my Hands on the HD-1 but Man, was it worth it. The greatest Thing is the Dynamic Triggering - for me, as a Drummer with about 30 yrs of Experience, this was I was hoping for to Perform Patterns in No Time at All which can't be Programmed that fast. Sooo Happy, I'm a real Erica Synths Fanboy (also very Happy with my Fusion System 2) and wouldn't mind Hang Banners from Erica Synths on Stage. Now I'll save for the SYNTRX II..

Great sound demo!

Great demo! Wider range of sounds! Preordered right away.

Sounds amazing! I need to try one out. 😎

Need. Need badly.

More demos, please! I want to hear the range of sounds. Can it do both, 90's Aphex Twin-ish stuff we hear here and also more vanilla sounds?

Sounds great! 👍

That hand twist after ever push of a button 🤣

Uh! Need one!😍

this is crazy

The Time you are Saving due to the UI alone is worth it. Almost no preps necessaary..boom..

Very interesting machine...Nice sound

so into the ambient/experimental character it can transform to

Sounds amazing 👾👾👾

i like its idle sound

Amazing sounds! 😍

Sounds and looks great! Very feature rich. Way too expensive for me though. But I'd rather pay for this than an Analog Rytm mk2 :) I wouldn't mind if we could buy each voice, sequencer (with the lfo maybe) and fx section seperately as individual units, or something along those lines 😊

amazing!

For me, erica synths are in the dance/techno area what Roland used to be in the 80s and 90s. The devices are just so innovative and have a completely unique sound, finally completely new drums that are not just based on 808 and 909. In my opinion, hybrid synthesizers are the future. No matter whether the Perkons, the techno system or the bassline or the effects, zen delay for example. All of these devices sound like a blast and are built to a very high standard. Unfortunately my priority at the moment is an Oberheim or ob6 otherwise I would definitely have a perkons or the techno system. 

Mega!

This is awesome sounding

oh my god what have you done!

That sounds really good man 👍

esperando ansiosamente por la mía

Awesome!!

Can we get a review from stimming pls???? Just give him 1 and you prob sell 30000000 more

sooo ocool!

Cool!

That DJ moves 😎

Reminds me of my old RS7000

grumpy old me. sounds like slow to me. I'd love to see this beauty take on high n punchy BPMs, hectic stuff like. Maybe this is not the point.

love it

I love Erica Synths but this sounds like someone put a lowpass filter on the master, waay too dark… Especially on hihats…

Sold.

Please, a black edition. No more smurf blue.

Nice homage to the FL studio step sequencer buttons. :)

My order says it should arrive in about 4 weeks?

So this will sync right up to incoming MIDI clock, correct?
