Erica Synths PĒRKONS HD-01

yeah, sorta the halfway between their daphne blue and seafoam green…?
the fact we pin it down makes me quite like that aspect of the aesthetics - not that I’ll ever afford to own one :smiley:

Yeah I started by searching for seafoam green haha. Love those 1950s-esque sunbleached Fender surf colours. :smiley:

So I was right. Smart Butthead Sash it is.

Mines finally in the post! So I imagine if you ordered direct from Erica on or around when preorders went live, you’ll have yours soon too.

Woohoo! Congrats :slight_smile:

Testing mine out in a club next week for the first time. Let’s see if people can handle this thing (and my noise that i keep referring to as music but really is just noise).

firmware v 1.0 is online. No idea yet what the improvements are

So far spotted: Trig mute mode (miuting without holding or latching shift)

Filter switch slew on/off: (off is enabled, on disabled (mind fck): off means less clicking noise when switching filters. On means no gradual switching so more clicks. Cool

There’s also banks now. 64 banks with each 64 patterns and kits. So eh, that should take a while to fill up :wink:

Shift LED is fixed (lights up when latched)

wow, this is a big time update. Can´t wait to go to the studio tomorrow

I fucking love this machine.

Edit: I should add why - it sounds fantastic, the sequencer is brilliant, the knob per function interface is a breath of fresh air and the new control all feature just spills out interesting loops. That is all.

Glad you all are digging this machine. I will get one some day, it’s just too cool. Be interesting to see how the firmware evolves over the next year or so.

Shared this in the current sounds thread, but it probably belongs here too.
