pērkons hd-01 is a unique live performance and sound design instrument that tears down the borders between drum machine, synthesizer, and drone instrument.
pērkons features four sonically versatile hybrid voices (digital sound engine + analogue multimode filter with overdrive) and a sequencer with simultaneous control over all four percussion tracks.
each voice has 3 sound engine modes, an hp/bp/lp filter and 8 controls for nuanced sound design, including an internal bbd fx send. all voice parameter settings can be saved as kits. to add dynamics to the performance, parameter automation is implemented and a
modulation lfo can be assigned to all parameters.
for a real thunderstorm, integration with external gear is considered - each voice has a dedicated trigger input, individual output, and fx send and return with 6.3mm jack sockets, along with extensive midi implementation. all voices are summed and run through
a built-in compressor.
time to ride the skies!
