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.
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.
@@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
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.
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
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..
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 🤍
Sounds and looks great! Very feature rich. Way too expensive for me though. But I'd rather pay for this than an Analog Rytm mk2 :) I wouldn't mind if we could buy each voice, sequencer (with the lfo maybe) and fx section seperately as individual units, or something along those lines 😊
Can u do other genres with it?? is it capable of other sounds/sonic textures, different drums or does it have the same droney, industrial, tinny sound throughout??
Could buy an MPC keys and still have money left over… and the MPC keys can do everything this does x 1000 and sounds better. This is another pseudo drum machine that makes weird noises mostly nobody is ever going to use in any released songs. Nice fiddle machine.
For me, erica synths are in the dance/techno area what Roland used to be in the 80s and 90s. The devices are just so innovative and have a completely unique sound, finally completely new drums that are not just based on 808 and 909. In my opinion, hybrid synthesizers are the future. No matter whether the Perkons, the techno system or the bassline or the effects, zen delay for example. All of these devices sound like a blast and are built to a very high standard. Unfortunately my priority at the moment is an Oberheim or ob6 otherwise I would definitely have a perkons or the techno system. 
@@frydac The 808 has different button indentations, than Fl Studio and the Erica . Then again the step lights on the Erika and the 808 are the same. The grey and colour feel are very strikingly matching on the Erica and FL Studio. Image-Line probably made it as a homage to the 808.
Hey Erica synth dudes and bitches, any estimated time for shipping the 1st batch? every time I watch these vids, I pray to the gods of beats that it will be showing up any minute.

Remember quality over quantity
??? Just get a job man!!
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.

Badass
Oh... This is insane.... So happy to see that mighty Latvian circuit benders didn't gone anywhere.... Beat wishes from Lithuania brāļi 🙏👍👌
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
With new gear like this I always like to play guess the price. I’m usually way out.
Great sounding machine 😀👍
Just bought one can't wait to try it out!!

Bro since when was there an instrument named after me?
That is literally beautiful! One day…….
😭
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
Sounds amazing. Dope ass beats KODEK!
what's a deaupaxbeats?
this thing is a work of art
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.
Erica got the power to make huge demo out of classic fields like techno, boombap and all of these known patterns
Being that I just ordered one, would love to start seeing some tutorial video's.
By far the best Erica product.
Idk I like my techno system.. but yeah this thing is on my list.
Woa, this is really good at those DNB and dubstep 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
Oh, my! That color reminds me the one of a NSU Prinz of the late 60s...
That color is so fucking awsome
Beast! Live performances await!
Love the glitchy tech from 9 mins on
Very impressed
iwant one lol so sick! 10:28 banger!!

Sucks that I am so broke right now, otherwise I would get this in a heartbeat! Would be the perfect companion to my SYNTRX!
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!
10 из 10. Просто невероятно звучит. 👍
it's been a while since i've heard dubstep with wobble bass in a demo...
It’s one beautiful machine 😍
Looks like you can make a whole lp with just this instrument

That's a really fine sounding hardware there you have, indeed!
My order says it should arrive in about 4 weeks?
I could hear MC Ride yelling over the first beat! Amazing stuff!
This sound is what I really want
pulsar 23 + PĒRKONS HD-01 = H ! S ! experimental madness ! 10/10
What a beast of a machine
Can we get a review from stimming pls???? Just give him 1 and you prob sell 30000000 more
💯
And it'll be on backorder for 40 years 😂 Better get some old Roland presets programmers from retirement, then I may actually get to buy one
Or 30000000 less if he hates it 😅
Oh no, not the german clown!

Whoah whoah wee wahhhh

why did insert fx pedals except it sounds cool ? please new vid with the blank perkons 🙏❤
This demo is insanely good
Beautiful moment 10:56
This is my WFH music right now. Lets goooo
Great sound demo!
Fantastic machine.
Been a while since I felt this way, I want one
Liking the way it sounds...
Great demo! Wider range of sounds! Preordered right away.
WOW! This eats the competition
oh my god what have you done!
Fresh! Extreme drum machine for real
How do we save the patterns nothing on the doc that concerns the backup? ???
I want that. Its beautifull and sounds awesome!
Ooooh, sounds amazing
So this will sync right up to incoming MIDI clock, correct?
Sounds great! 👍
simply gorgeous... perfect rythmn machine
Goi g hard on soma designs lol looks like a Lyra-8 fused with Roland tr

Best drum machine ever!
This is the best demo so far. Good stuff.

shipping soon???!!!
First batch will start to ship in August. You can now make a pre-order for the second batch which will start to ship in October.
