THE ERICA SYNTHS
PERKONS VOICE
ODULE!
The Erica Drum Series includes high-end, unique functionality and superior
quality modules, which allow for creating feature-rich modular systems for sound
design and live performance in various styles of rhythmic electronic music. Enjoy!
As its name suggests, the Erica Synths Perkons Voice is a eurorack incarnation of the
percussion voices from the PĒRKONS HD-01 Drum machine. Like on the drum machine, the
module has hybrid architecture, featuring a digital sound engine followed by an analogue
multimode filter and overdrive. Users can select among 13 sound generation algorithms and
save up to 99 presets that can be recalled easily. Tune and Patch CV inputs are configurable
for various CV settings and are tuned to 1V/oct.
Alternative percussion algorithms can be implemented easily via firmware updates.
