    In this deep dive demo I explore the Erica Synths Perkons HD-01 . This wonderful instrument is really something to behold. It's massive, has big knobs, hands on controls, one knob per function, most accessible sequencer ever and in general just really feels like a true instrument.
    Trying to make this more tutorialesque proofed to be difficult as Perkons kept dragging me into a flow state. But I think this demonstration shows you just how much fun this thing is to play with.
    Enjoy!

    The great thing of this machine is that it is NOT an 808/909 but does something different. We need more stuff like this for percussion. We can't always live in the 808/909 world. There is so much more

    • @Davemech
      @Davemech  Před 6 měsíci

      Thanks ! ❤️
      It sounds great and beefy on a big system. That’s for sure. I can’t really compare it to other instruments as there are too many factors at play. With samplers it depends on your samples for starters. I can make all instruments sound equally shitty or great really. Just a matter of dialing in what you love to hear.
      Sorry for this non-answer 🤷‍♂️

    @djandreezer Před 11 měsíci +2

    Hands down best demo of Perkons I e seen. You’re doing stuff that I didn’t think possible with the drones. Like you I’ve been experimenting with individual efx pedals to the individual voices but i have couple of questions to your setup:
    1) how come your not going Send and Return to an EFX pedal?
    2) where does the send master (black/white cable on right) go to?
    Thank you for a great video!

    • @Davemech
      @Davemech  Před 11 měsíci +3

      Thank you! :)
      1) because I use stereo fx and the send and return are mono. So sending out to a stereo effect adds stereo width. Additionally it gives me a way to mix the effected part of the signal separately.
      2) that’s the master out which is going into my mixing desk (SSL big six). Same for the outputs of the effect pedals.
      Cheers!

    I honestly love this thing so much.
    I’m tempted to sell literally all my other hardware music equipment and getting just this instead.
    I can then start a synth collection again from scratch with this as the main piece.
    It’s a difficult decision as I love some of my equipment (TR8s, JU06a, Sh01a, tb03) Boutiques. But the money from that, and maybe a couple camera lenses and I’d have enough for one of these.
    It’s so tempting!
    It’s instantly Techno.
    How does it interact with other instruments? Deffo keen for more jams featuring this bad boy!

      @@Davemech thanks; quite interesting with the semi-inserted audio connectors to the OTO machines. It reminds me of a internal quirk of the Roland JD-800 synthesizer (that I used back in the 90s), where you could get some truly unique metallic sounds the fx modules if you basically overloaded everything and turned the volume of the JD-800 way way way down .. and then simply by navigating the fx menus with the knobs, the internal signals created these wonderful harmonics.
      As for the audio routing of the setup in the video, sorry for asking, but could you please check if I'm getting it right?

    Thanks Dave super good jam! Learnt heaps to. Just ordered a Perkons yesterday and this is 120% confirmation it's the right choice.
    Choice of pedals? I see you have 2 x OTOs and RAIND-ROPS. I have no mixer :-( so was thinking the OTO BeBe Cherie on mixer duties (or there a better option?) and then the BOUM and BAM?
    This is such a creative instrument - mind blowingly good!

    • @Davemech
      @Davemech  Před 4 měsíci +2

      Thank you !
      If you go for Bebe cherie, very cool mixer, I’d skip the oto boum for now as Bebe can cover some of that really. Bam is a beautifully vibey reverb and maybe a delay. Raindrops is certainly nice. Bebe cherie has 1 “send” by using the mute/alt out function. So you could use a delay on that for example and then one of the perkons voices through the BaM :). You could also start with a simple 4 to 6 mono track mixer to see if that suits you and then slowly add to it with fx and eventually exchange it for a mixer that will suit your needs. Sometimes it’s better to start with some basics to find out what you’re looking for :) hope this helps ! Cheers

    • @Davemech
      @Davemech  Před 10 měsíci +1

      Thanks ❤️
      To be fair, with Elektron stuff it’s really possible to create as big a sound as you want. Certainly with the samplers, you can put in any sample and further shape the sounds. So I wouldn’t say this sounds fuller per se. The thing is that it’s much more narrow and focused on a positive sense. So the sounds really blend well and the overal sound signature is indeed quite warm and nice right out of the box. With Elektron stuff often you need to work a bit harder :) but then you get a lot more flexibility and sound design options in return.

    Hey, can you tell me which firmware you are using? My 4 voice trigger lamps are really dim and I'm on 1.2. I can't even see voice triggering on the switch lamps.

    • @Davemech
      @Davemech  Před 7 měsíci

      Same firmware. It’s not an issue but simply indicating the level of the voice. So if the light is dim it means the volume is low of that voice. The brighter the led the louder the signal. When using subtle hihats etc on voice 4 this is to be expected 👍

    You know what features I'd really like to see on Perkons: 1) per-voice sequence reset, so I can just "fix" one voice's sequence which no longer lines up, due to having changed the length, division or multiplication, 2) a way to revert a single voice back to what's stored in the kit, and 3) a way to maybe hold down a button to (temporarily) make a bunch of changes across voices, and then release the button to have it instantly revert the voices back to their previous state.

    • @Davemech
      @Davemech  Před 7 měsíci +2

      You can already do 3 Hold shift and change a parameter. It will change that parameter on all voices. Let go of shift and they revert back. Though your idea of having it do that with individual controls is quite neat yeah. Send in a feature request :)
      One feature request I really would love to see is shifting a voice’s sequence left or right. But I haven’t come up with a workable way of implementing such a feature yet.

      Has much more than just randomness. Can record all parameters into the sequencer , parameter locking, shuffling, odd track lengths, speed per track, direction per track. There’s an lfo with all parameters as destinations. Etc.
      So sure, only 16 steps (you can also chain patterns by the way), but you can make it sound like much more than that ;) and on top of that it’s the way you can keep moving everything by using your hands as modulators that makes it so engaging. So to call sq-64 far superior is quite a leap.
