Erica synths HexDrums

The HexDrums is an analog drum machine born of the collaboration between Erica Synths and Hexinverter, fusing the industrial power of Erica Synths' "techno weapons" with the unique sonic DNA of Hexinverter's "mutant" circuits.

Conceived as a tribute to classic analog drum machines, HexDrums combines traditional design with modern enhancements and performance-oriented ergonomics for stage and studio production.

Powerful analog sound architecture

HexDrums features 10 analog sound sources, inspired by the famous Mutant modules: two kick drums (BD9 and Bass Drum), an optimized Mutant Machine, Snare Drum, Clap, Rimshot and HiHats. To complete this percussive base, Erica Synths Cymbals offer 10 sets of rich, dynamic crash and ride cymbals.

A complete, intuitive X0X-style sequencer

The integrated X0X-style sequencer enables fast, fluid programming of up to 64 steps. It offers precise control thanks to accents, stepwise microtiming, ratchets, rolls and stepwise probability functions. With 16 banks of 16 patterns in memory, you can create, save and recall sequences in an instant.

Individual outputs and professional master section

Each voice has an individual output for flexible routing in the studio or on stage. The master section includes stereo panning, a compressor and a Master Drive derived from the famous Mutant Glue module, ensuring sonic cohesion and controlled saturation.

Designed for live performance and studio use

The HexDrums has been designed to offer a fluid, tactile experience: its direct controls enable instant, expressive adjustments. Its solid construction and ergonomic design make it ideal for electronic music producers, live performers and sound designers in search of authentic analog grain.
