The distortion in the demo is ridiculous lol. There’s total magic (for my ears) when a 909 saturates through shitty old Mackie amps but this just takes the bourbon biscuit
Some thoughts about the spec … It has clock-in and clock-out. It doesn’t have a dedicated trig out?
It would be sick if the clock-out (or something) was switchable/assignable as a trig-out track.
There are surprisingly few analogue drum machines that put out proper trigger cv without sacrificing a voice.
This is an important matter. Erica need to do a conclave and release a puff of white smoke when they decide to give us a proper cv track
This looks nice… super knobby, well thought out voices w/ a lot of options, they put a lot of effort into not cutting corners and giving us full featured analog voices.
The distorted sounds in the demo are great, some of the tamer sounds… eh, but can’t judge this on 2:30 of audio… as others have said above I would hope it can do clean sounds well.
Edit: wow, some of those YT comments are just ick. People claiming that drum machines without modulation capabilities are ‘pointless’ and moaning that £1100 is prohibitively expensive, like Erica Synths have an obligation to produce a hardware drum machine at cost price… It’s a luxury item released at a financially turbulent time in history.
Anyway, I’m looking forward to this one. Individual outs, the mutant compressor, the two bass drums… Hope they have them at Machina Bristronica this year.
Edit 2: Girts said €1100 in the sonicState video, not £1100.
Edit 3: Oh, £1100 after VAT. Thanks for confirming @music-cabin!
