A classic modular 808-inspired kick drum from Hexinverter, now rebuilt by Erica Synths.
Manufacturer's description
What do you get when you combine voltage controlled distortion and one of the most infamous bassdrums? Hexinverter took one of the most revered bassdrum synthesis designs of all time – the TR-808 and completely redesigned it for use in a modular analogue synthesizer.
Features
- Analogue bassdrum circuitry capable of vanilla TR-808 sounds
- Built in voltage controlled distortion (batteryACID distortion)
- Distortion accepts external inputs when not being used with kick drum (great for acid synth leads)
- Voltage control of distortion amount
- Voltage control of decay from short kicks to long "ooooooooomphs"
- Voltage control of pitch (approximates v/oct response, but not musically tuned)
- Non-invasive analogue optocouplers used for voltage control, thus, completely vintage sounds can still be had if that's what you're after!
- Completely redesigned, hi-fi signal chain spares no expense by replacing cheap transistor amplifiers with low noise opamp equivalents
Redesigned by Erica Synths in close collaboration with Hexinverter:
In September 2022 Stacy Gaudreau - the founder of Hexinverter Électronique, announced closing down the operations. Following their announcement, Erica Synths in cooperation with Hexinverter Électronique saw a way for their incredible and truly unique music instruments to keep on inspiring musicians and finding a home in countless studios to come. We strongly believe the effort and innovation incorporated in Hexinverter Électronique eurorack modules are far too great to prematurely become history. Erica Synths will take over the manufacturing, sales, and support of several Hexinverter Électronique modules. While retaining all functionality of Hexinverter Électronique modules, Erica Synths redesigned the hardware of modules and will provide support for reissue modules only.
