Classic hi-hats module from Hexinverter, now rebuilt by Erica Synths. 808s and beyond!
Manufacturer's description
A classic electro percussion synthesis design reborn as something completely different. Hexinverter wanted to recreate a classic hihat synthesis design as something new and exciting, so they took the super electro 808 circuit and transformed it into a powerful creative tool for modular synthesis.
Features
- Analogue hihat circuitry capable of synthesising vanilla TR-808 open and closed hihat sounds (simultaneously)
- External audio input lets you synthesise hihats from virtually any sound source (Jupiter Storm, vcNOIZ, etc.)
- Lo-fidelity original VCAs replaced by OTA-based modern VCAs
- VCA DRIVE control for each hihat allows you to dial in anything from soft metallic hihats to extremely overdriven, crunchy hihats
- Exclusive switch lets you select how the two hihats (open/closed) interact with each other when triggered at the same time
- Cutoff frequency control for internal resonant bandpass filter
- Resonant filter can be switched on/off
- Modular level mutual accent input (0-5V CV)
- Trigger input accepts almost anything as a trigger signal
- 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 and OTA 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.

Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet.
