Hexinverter Mutant Machine Percussion Generator is Back

Erica Synths, in cooperation with Hexinverter Électronique, redesigns classic percussion generator using discrete components and ICs

Riga, Latvia, February 7, 2024 — Erica Synths announces the latest, recently redesigned Hexinverter module for Eurorack: Mutant Machine. Following the successful re-launch of other Hexinverter modules including Mindphaser, VCNO and Mutant Brain, Mutant Machine retaining all the functionality of the original module, while adding additional features.

 

 

Classic analog percussion synthesis
The Machine began as a quest to create a rich-sounding Eurorack snare drum synthesis module to complement the existing Mutant Drums. The project quickly became too large and costly to justify the module being capable only of snare drum sounds. So, the decision was made to learn from the architecture of the TR-909’s snare and kick circuits, to develop a module capable of generating multiple forms of analog percussion, and various other effects.

Like the other Mutant Drums, the Machine has its roots in classic analog percussion synthesis. Even though it can create alien sounds, it still can deliver those classic 909 house snares and kicks if you want them. There are no microcontrollers in the Machine. The signals and waveforms are all generated by discrete components and ICs, for a distinctly analog sound, and user experience. Now redesigned by Erica Synths in collaboration with Hexinverter Electronique the module features a manual trigger button.

 

 

Technical specifications:

  • Width: 29HP
  • Depth: 30mm
  • Current draw: +139mA, -115mA @ 12V

 

A distinctive legacy in Eurorack
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.
