The industrial magic of Erica Synths techno weapons, fused with the DNA of Hexinverter’s mutant circuits is brought to life as the HexDrum – an analog drum machine forged out of deep respect for traditional designs with innovative improvements and the combined spellwork of its makers. Combining the range and flexibility of sounds by Hexinverter with the hands-on, no-nonsense layout and aesthetics of Erica Synths, the HexDrum offers the distilled, iconic essence of analog electronic drums in a practical form factor.
This is a raw demo of the prototype of the unit.
Coming out later this year!

Interesting. Also saw pictures for the unit on GS, it has individual outs for each of the sounds. Looks like a serious piece of kit.

Sounds and looks great! I’ve never owned any of the Erica Synths units, but their drum machines always sound impressive to me.

No processing at all? I ask because it seems like it has some nice drive going on, and I'm wondering if that's internal or external.

Looks internal. There’s a level/drive on every sound and a master one as well. Possibly adds distortion at some place along the sweep of the knob.zerocrossing wrote: Wed May 07, 2025 7:30 pm No processing at all?

This looks so rad to me. I built a bunch of the Mutant Drum modules when they were just kits and they sound great. The BD9 was one of my favorites, it's built-in distortion was way over the top. I'm really glad Erica picked up the Hexinverter stuff. Seems like a good fit with their other instruments.
I suspect HexDrums will likely be similar in price to Perkons HD-01 but this one appeals to me a bit more. It doesn't sound like it does per-step parameter automation, so maybe it will be a bit less.
