If I’d own one, I’d consider drilling a hole to add a tuning pot @.@

yea I wanted that but was less to buy the Perkons and Hexdrums plus DB01 and LXR02 and more flexible as I already have tons of eurorack.
You can find the TS used for a lot less. I suspect a new black system is coming.

As i expected the dry sound of the Hexdrums works very well with fx. Tempted…

So for everyone who interested how the Hexdrums sounds. I made some jams the other day and It really grows on me!
It’s so new, I mean we have to push it first, it’s not an old 808 where everything is already been done at some point. But there’s so much potential
Have fun:

808 style hats make me cringe on any drum machine. Syntakt is the same not just the Hexdrums. Why oh why? I say 909 all the way. Of course this is just my opinion. Anyways I have plenty drums but I’d have bought this but for the hats.

I still find this argument very weird. The 909 hats are a sample that you can download anywhere and put it into one of the two sample slots on Hexdrums. It’s so much better that they give you a real analog voice HH track on top of that. I‘d find it very weird if they sacrificed that for a 909 sample track (which they probably couldn’t even put in there without getting sued).

Ill agree with the rest of people here about not having at least tune parameter on hh is weird.
Does anyone own syntakt and hexdrums side by side ?

Im on the 808 side. 909 hats are not for me. But that’s not the point of the machine. It wants to be played, that’s were it comes to life

Each to their own mate 
So i have one for a few of days now, and i just can’t get my head around how good this thing is. First of all, it sounds big, bass is deep and defined, sounds are very good and detailed in general, very 3D with lot of details and transients that are not spiky. It has wide frequency spectrum, it is not muffled, or boomy, highs are not harsh. I was especially shocked how good the sample engine sounds! never heard that before in my life.
All the sounds work together so well, it’s very groovy in the lack of the better words. it’s crazy. What i feared of was it might be boring spectrum of sounds, i was so wrong, so much you can get out of this drum machine. It sounds modern, but it has this raw old school glow to it. Every sound can be old school but you can push it a little further than that if thats your thing. Every part is well thought out, you can immediately see that it was not something designed in rush, that it was first developed part by part for eurorack world. Filters are great, even hh are very nice because of its filter.
Just for the reference, i had rytm mk2 before , i still own cycles, i had mpc 2500 and 500, and i have digitakt and lxr mk1. And also mbase mk2 module.
And the build quality is superb, it is big machine a joy to play with it, it looks beautiful with yellow color scheme, big buttons and smooth pots. Encoder is the best one i have ever used. Sequencer is easy to use and its elektron level thing.
I wanted to write this as my little contribution to all the work that got into this synth. Big thumbs up Erica Synths and Hexinverter!
