Hexinverter Mutant Hot Glue

The Erica Synths Hexinverter Mutant Hot Glue is a versatile and powerful 4-channel effects mixing and dynamics processing module for Eurorack. It is designed to be the central hub for your analog effects chains, particularly for processing drum sounds and creating cohesive submixes. The module combines a flexible mixer with a high-fidelity analog compressor and a voltage-controlled distortion, making it an all-in-one solution for adding punch, character, and, as the name suggests, "glue" to your modular patches.

The mixer section of the Mutant Hot Glue features four input channels, each with its own level and effects send control. This allows for creating parallel effects chains and intricate signal routings. The analog compressor is a standout feature, offering both series and parallel compression, as well as a sidechain input for classic pumping and ducking effects. The voltage-controlled distortion is inspired by classic acid techno sounds and has been specifically tailored for synthesizer and drum processing. The flexible normalization of the mixer output to the compressor input makes setting up parallel compression intuitive and straightforward.

Erica Synths, in collaboration with Hexinverter, has faithfully redesigned this module, improving upon the compressor and ensuring the analog signal path remains identical to the original. The Mutant Hot Glue is an indispensable utility for any modular synthesist looking to take their drum processing and mixing to the next level. Its combination of a clean and flexible mixer, a characterful compressor, and a musical distortion makes it a true powerhouse in a relatively compact footprint.
