Gritty Grooves & Hard-Hitting Drums From the Analog-Digital Hybrid

The Perkons HD-01 is a powerful, four-voice drum machine featuring wavetables and digital oscillators fed into multimode analog filters, overdrive, and an analog bucket brigade delay. It can deliver everything from experimental sound design to modern techno, trap and everything in between, all within the twist of a knob. The Perkons From Mars gives you access to the distinctive, hard-hitting sound of this modern classic via 650 one-hits and 350 loops.

Sampling the One-Hits

To capture the range of the machine, we also sculpted hundreds of one-shot samples from each voice, surfing wavetables and tweaking knobs. We tracked the hits cleanly, and additionally through a combination of Moog filters, outboard compression and saturation to add some extra color, weight, and (most importantly) analog noise that the Perkons lacks.



Capturing Complex Movements and Loops

The Perkons thrives on motion - all made possible from a robust sequencer. Not only are all of its deep modulation possibilities (fold amount, pitch modulation, wave-surfing, sample rate and more) recordable, but we get per-step probability and ratchets too. Put it all together and the Perkons can create driving rhythms, evolving patterns, glitchy FX bursts, and twisted melodies:
