Hexinverter Mutant Clap

The Erica Synths Hexinverter Mutant Clap takes the classic and instantly recognizable clap sound of the TR-909 and reimagines it for the creative possibilities of the Eurorack format. This module is more than just a clap generator; it's a versatile percussion synthesis engine and a unique sound source in its own right. With a wealth of new features and voltage control, the Mutant Clap allows you to sculpt a wide range of percussive and textural sounds, from faithful 909 emulations to broken, chiptune-inspired glitches and beyond.

One of the most powerful aspects of the Mutant Clap is its flexibility. The pitch of the internal noise generator is controllable, which is key to its wide timbral range. The module can even double as a voltage-controlled, Commodore 64-esque noise VCO. With the SUSTAIN control cranked up, it transforms into an abstract synth voice. An external input allows you to synthesize clap sounds from any audio source you feed into it, opening up a universe of experimental sound design. Furthermore, the module includes a built-in reverb effect with voltage-controllable decay, which forms the tail of the clap sound and can be used to create everything from short, snappy transients to long, washed-out ambiences.

This collaboration between Erica Synths and Hexinverter brings a classic sound into the modern age with enhanced features and a robust design. The added DRIVE control provides everything from clean claps to heavily overdriven and crunchy textures. For producers of house, techno, and experimental electronic music, the Mutant Clap is an inspiring tool that goes far beyond its name, offering a unique and powerful voice for any modular system.
