Erica Synths PĒRKONS HD-01

A guy living just 5minutes away from my house “was” selling a Perkons. I send him a message yesterday and got to meet at his place today to test it. After seeing Perkons in person and playing around with it for a bit, I decided to take it home. :see_no_evil:
Had to pay a littlte bit more than I initially wanted to, but it’s a black one and it seems in a really nice conditon.
first pattern:

f this works out for me like I have in mind, probably no Drumding for in the near future.

Infectious AF.

Good shit man. I’d make sure it’s updated before you get too cozy.

Sampling aside, there were some tweaks up some sounds, for the better IMO.

Thanks!!

I’ll update it tomorrow. It’s on OS 1.2 now.

After spending a few hours with Perkons, I can only say, this is FUN!
And it feels like I’m only scratching the surface and keeping things fairly modest.

64 steps to sequence or at least be able to save chained pattern sequences. Now every time you power off Perkons and restart it again the pattern chaining you made before has gone and you need to start over.

As a new owner of a Pērkons it’s nice to see all these feature requests here, but wouldn’t it be more usefull to send them to Erica Synths, since they’re working on a major update and I don’t think they’re reading this?

But I’ll join :upside_down_face: with my first feature requests…after a few days of use, things that I would like to see implemented are samples per bank for voice 4 and delay and master settings saved in the patterns.

edit: I’ve made a ticket on the Erica Synths website with my requests :slight_smile:

Hi, how you do a ticket in Erica Synths website? I could send some requests too. I am pretty sure that people in Erica are actually reading these kind of user forums but you never know for sure.

On the Erica Synths webpage, go to “support” and click 'other subjects". Here you can make a ticket for a suggestion.

I used own samples but did not saved the original sample files…does anybody know how to get them back?

Just remove the samples folder from the SD card and they re-appear on the device. They cannot be overwritten, just temporarily replaced.

Thanks, they actually answered quite fast. There wont be 64 step sequencer option in the future or pattern chain saving option but maybe something else.

Btw I made a short techno jam with Perkons, Radias and JP-8080: https://youtu.be/u6Oc4l2fEgM

Hi there, did you get to the bottom of this?

I have just received a black Perkons and can report the same.

It is extremely quiet compared to the blue one I used to have!! Like gain is maxed out and it’s still too quiet using headphones. Like the compressor is mandatory to get a usable signal.

This was not the case on my blue unit.
