Erica Synths Perkons Voice
Eurorack incarnation of the PERKONS HD-01 voice: 13 algorithms, analog VCF + overdrive, 99 presets.
14 HP Eurorack module
Erica Synths Perkons Voice is a 14HP Eurorack incarnation of the percussion voices from the Perkons HD-01 drum machine. Hybrid architecture: a digital sound engine running 13 distinct algorithms (Fold/Complex/Wave Morph/Pulse drums, Resonant Bass/Snare, Space Snare, Slap, Karplus Strong, Cymbals, Noise Crush, Metalic Noise, Sample Player) feeds an analog multimode VCF (LP/HP/BP via the VCF button) and analog overdrive. Up to 99 presets, 4-voice POLY overlap mode, Drone mode (Decay fully CW), 1V/oct on Tune and Patch CV, accent input with +2 dB bump, and USB-C on the rear for firmware and three user-uploadable hi-hat samples driving the Sample Player engine.
Features
- Eurorack incarnation of the Erica Synths PERKONS HD-01 percussion voice
- Hybrid architecture: digital sound engine → analog multimode VCF → analog overdrive
- 13 sound design algorithms with variations: Fold/Complex/Wave Morph/Pulse drums, Resonant Bass/Snare, Space Snare, Slap, Karplus Strong, Cymbals, Noise Crush, Metalic Noise, Sample Player
- Each algorithm exposes 2 unique parameters (Param 1 + Param 2)
- Analog VCF cycles between Lowpass / Highpass / Bandpass modes via VCF button
- Drone mode: full-CW Decay sustains the voice continuously
- Up to 99 user presets recallable instantly
- 1V/oct calibrated Tune CV and Patch CV inputs (CALIBRATE config requires +4V reference)
- Patch CV configurable as Unipolar / Bipolar / 1V/oct quantized
- 4-voice POLY overlap mode for ringing decays
- Accent input: signal above 1V adds exactly +2 dB to the next hit
- 14 configuration settings (Voice Mode, Patch CV mode, Pot Catch, Trig Delay, etc.)
