It finally arrived and I melted the paint off the walls with it in fifteen minutes. Nothing comes close to how much fun this perfect example of a drum synth that is totally performable literally is. Erica synths knocked it out of the park! 👽🙏
Very satisfying sounds. I love the bass drones and sub-basses. But then I also like how the snare, somehow just about grounds it in the familiar. Nice chewy hats too. The official drum machine of the Miami dolphins. But the Drexciyan Cetaceans, not the ballers.
i use gear like this to make super ambient weird bright arpy textures,then i sample that to make downtempo slow rap beats.think cloudrap circa 2013.unlimited samples from my own synths.
@@iwillnevergetone5 sure, I'll maybe have a go in a few years. I could trade stuff but I couldn't justify trading three boxes for one drum machine. And I mean there are other expensive synths I'd like to get before this one. Still seems to be a great tool for sure. It's a matter of priorities ;)
@@TristanBaldi i know what you mean. everytime i hear an Erica demo (especially with headphones since they have great lows hiding in their machines) i start thinking about how to make it happen haha
Love and appreciate all your videos (especially for the M8, which I have also not yet received 😸) I do do hope to see some tutorials for the Perkons from you as well 🤍
Thanks for the demos! However, it would be nice to have an update for everyone who already preordered, as the price recently went up by 50€ and delivery date has been pushed back to end of August. Also, it is currently not available for preorder anymore in your shop, as opposed to what is stated in the video description. I‘m not trying to be pushy, really just looking forward to explore my unit - but a bit more communication would be great. Nobody is mad at you when supply chain issues are a problem again, but just let us know.
Great demo! Love the first track, the werk! Dnb track is heat. Bass business and business bass both bangers. As well as the sounds you put together in other tracks
That guy could make a Korg Volca Beats sound great. Its all in the person doing the demo, not the gear itself. The average Joe could no more replicate the guy doing this demo than some kid who just got a Squier strat for his birthday is gonna instantly sound like Jimi Hendrix
In the first jam around 56 seconds, it looks like he's live triggering the ratchets temporarily? What's going on there? Would be a sick trick, but the manual doesn't mention it.
It has been a long time that I have actually been excited about a new instrument.... Except Moog One ;). This instrument is going to be my go to for drums besides the Techno System and Elektron Rythm MKII, Soma Pulsar.
Great human, I'm sure they could make any piece of gear sound good in a demo. Which I think is a point lots of people will miss in a video like this sadly. The person using the machine is obviously highly skilled at both sound design and musical composition. It's like watching Slash or Jimmy Page demo the latest guitars - they will all sound great in their hands regardless of the instrument and its quality. The Perkons seems great but it will not give people new ideas or skills, that has to come with practise and effort, like any task in life.
Actually a really good way to put it. Idk how many pieces of gear I’ve bought and returned because I wasn’t patient enough to sit and grasp the entirety of its functions.
I have Combined it with the I/IV from Division Dept. that and a SP-2400 from Isla to Voice Up a Little. Don't even use my RYTM MK 1 anymore because the HD-1 is much better for the Sound I imagine, which goes into Dark and Industrial-ish and Experimental Areas. I also needed to sell some stuff to get my Hands on the HD-1 but Man, was it worth it. The greatest Thing is the Dynamic Triggering - for me, as a Drummer with about 30 yrs of Experience, this was I was hoping for to Perform Patterns in No Time at All which can't be Programmed that fast. Sooo Happy, I'm a real Erica Synths Fanboy (also very Happy with my Fusion System 2) and wouldn't mind Hang Banners from Erica Synths on Stage. Now I'll save for the SYNTRX II..
I love it, is there anybody else who is hearing Sonic Charge/Microtoniq VST at 2:54 till 6.50 :) what an incredible drum machine but very expensive, so i keep it with Microtoniq :(

I just ordered one not 30 minutes ago, so stoked \m/
@@KrisBarton432 you won’t be disappointed trust me . Peace 👽✌️
I'm gonna go ahead and need you all to stop talking about how good this thing is. I can't afford it yet!
Looks insane. Can anyone compare it to a vermona drm1?
Badass
It's great to hear more of a range of the possible sounds this beast can make, thank you!
Yea i was bummed that other vid wasnt longer then i found this

I wish I liked these genres of music, because the gear looks sick.
what musical genre(s) do you like ?
I mean, even though they utilize this for one genre doesn't mean it can't be used for other genres.
I hate a lot of electronic music but, nothing is set in stone you realize? Things like this blow the doors open.

This sounds crazy good. I'll never possess it but I'll love hearing it play for sure!
you can make it happen my friend. trade stuff in, save up, find a used one, etc

Remember quality over quantity
??? Just get a job man!!
Just bought one can't wait to try it out!!
By far the best Erica product.
Idk I like my techno system.. but yeah this thing is on my list.
Whoah whoah wee wahhhh
Love and appreciate all your videos (especially for the M8, which I have also not yet received 😸) I do do hope to see some tutorials for the Perkons from you as well 🤍
@@invisiblehour Unfortunately I don't think I'll be getting my hands on one any time soon, but it is a beautiful looking thing!!
Oh... This is insane.... So happy to see that mighty Latvian circuit benders didn't gone anywhere.... Beat wishes from Lithuania brāļi 🙏👍👌
the quality is out of this world.. am just listening and holy cow. BTW Joel's brought me here after he bought a full eurorack lmao
wow sound♥♥love

First batch was sold out and will start to ship in August. Pre-orders for the second batch are now open!
@@EricaSynths ok, thanks for the quick reply!
@@EricaSynths I am batch” one “ preorder too! Is end of august a solid date? Really concerned ! 👽
Anytime I've written customer support at ES I've received a reply within 3 days
this thing is a work of art
What a beast of a machine
Incredible machine and workmanship! The good thing about this is that it won't need activations or drivers or the usual computer stuff
and a price of a computer
Is that the only good thing about it lol?
No drivers no firmware , no garbage, just pure synth meat and potatoes! Loosing my mind waiting ! Peace Christo 👽🙏
No subscription and it works offline ! What else could you ask for ? 😭☮️ Hope santa will bring one of those this xmass.
TANA X MARIO

@@hb-fc3jj 🤔 you don’t say
That is literally beautiful! One day…….
😭
That color is so fucking awsome
Love the glitchy tech from 9 mins on
Very impressed

That's one of the best Drum n Bass compositions I've heard yet out of a synth box.
From a drum machine bro…
Both are right, it's a percussion synth.
The amount of analog control to this is what makes it very tempting to own.
@@_DrumsArt Definitely!
Beast! Live performances await!
Liking the way it sounds...
The beat at 5:13 is just too good
iwant one lol so sick! 10:28 banger!!
Fantastic machine.
Huge Half-Life vibes at 11:04!
Erica got the power to make huge demo out of classic fields like techno, boombap and all of these known patterns
Woa, this is really good at those DNB and dubstep sounds.
Sucks that I am so broke right now, otherwise I would get this in a heartbeat! Would be the perfect companion to my SYNTRX!
It’s one beautiful machine 😍
Beautiful moment 10:56
With new gear like this I always like to play guess the price. I’m usually way out.
Great sounding machine 😀👍
It has been a long time that I have actually been excited about a new instrument.... Except Moog One ;). This instrument is going to be my go to for drums besides the Techno System and Elektron Rythm MKII, Soma Pulsar.
WOW! This eats the competition
This demo is insanely good
Being that I just ordered one, would love to start seeing some tutorial video's.
10 из 10. Просто невероятно звучит. 👍
Good sound and quality build is worth the money! ❤
Great demo! Wider range of sounds! Preordered right away.
Best drum machine ever!
They've somehow managed to distill Mick Harris into a sexy box! Bravo Sirs!

simply gorgeous... perfect rythmn machine
Been a while since I felt this way, I want one
This is my WFH music right now. Lets goooo
Great human, I'm sure they could make any piece of gear sound good in a demo.

The person using the machine is obviously highly skilled at both sound design and musical composition.
It's like watching Slash or Jimmy Page demo the latest guitars - they will all sound great in their hands regardless of the instrument and its quality.
The Perkons seems great but it will not give people new ideas or skills, that has to come with practise and effort, like any task in life.
Thats why I love this thing. Skill gap is what makes anything worth doing IMO.
Actually a really good way to put it. Idk how many pieces of gear I’ve bought and returned because I wasn’t patient enough to sit and grasp the entirety of its functions.
it's been a while since i've heard dubstep with wobble bass in a demo...
Fresh! Extreme drum machine for real
I could hear MC Ride yelling over the first beat! Amazing stuff!
Amazing sounds! 😍
More demos, please! I want to hear the range of sounds. Can it do both, 90's Aphex Twin-ish stuff we hear here and also more vanilla sounds?
Pretty sure it can do any genre
Yes and yes
Ooooh, sounds amazing
Looks like you can make a whole lp with just this instrument
esperando ansiosamente por la mía
This sound is what I really want
I want that. Its beautifull and sounds awesome!
Great sound demo!
This is the best demo so far. Good stuff.
Need. Need badly.
That's a really fine sounding hardware there you have, indeed!
Uh! Need one!😍
When!!!!!
Goi g hard on soma designs lol looks like a Lyra-8 fused with Roland tr
amazing!

Bro since when was there an instrument named after me?
Mega!
i like its idle sound
What is the name of the orange pedal at 1:15? Thanks!
Awesome!!
this is crazy
sooo ocool!
pulsar 23 + PĒRKONS HD-01 = H ! S ! experimental madness ! 10/10
Sounds great! 👍
Very interesting machine...Nice sound
oh my god what have you done!
Cool!
This is awesome sounding
Cool
How do we save the patterns nothing on the doc that concerns the backup? ???
love it
Sounds amazing! I need to try one out. 😎
You make some interesting gear!
That sounds really good man 👍
I love it, is there anybody else who is hearing Sonic Charge/Microtoniq VST at 2:54 till 6.50 :) what an incredible drum machine but very expensive, so i keep it with Microtoniq :(
Dude my thoughts exactly, it's basically a Microtonic in hardware. What can be cooler than that? At first i was excited... But 1700... dear god.
My order says it should arrive in about 4 weeks?
Reminds me of my old RS7000
Sounds amazing 👾👾👾
so into the ambient/experimental character it can transform to
✨🎶🪐🎶✨
Swatting flys at 00:50?
6:16 cool
Boop boop boop!
That DJ moves 😎
11:04 holy shit...
why did insert fx pedals except it sounds cool ? please new vid with the blank perkons 🙏❤
Yeps 🤘🏾🤖🤙🏽
I like sounds D&B at 2.27
