The Erica Synths Hexdrums is an all-analog drum machine that fuses the legendary Hexinverter Mutant drum circuits with Erica Synths' techno DNA and hands-on workflow. Hexdrums from Erica Synths is an all analog drum machine that fuses the power of Hexinverter's Mutant Drum circuits with Erica's intuitive, hands-on sequencing and control in a sleek desktop device. Born from Erica Synths' acquisition of Hexinverter's cult-favourite Mutant Drum series, it distills the iconic essence of analog electronic drums into a practical, performance-ready box. A potent weapon of techno-brilliance on stage or in the studio, Hexdrums is here to cast its sonic spells in any set-up.
Key elements of its design:
- 10 Drum Voices, Mostly Analog 10 drum voices: 8 analog (BD1, BD2, Machine, Snare, Clap, Rim/Clave, Open HH, Closed HH) plus 2 sample-based (Crash, Ride) with 10 selectable sets, per-voice tuning/decay, a Ride loop option, and user sample upload via USB (48kHz/16-bit mono).
- Dual Kick Drums Two kick drums enable deadly drops and double-trouble low end phrases — one based on a VCO core with click, sub, and pitch sweep, and a second 808-style twin-T circuit for vintage body that can also be tuned high enough for toms.
- Flexible Machine Voice The Machine voice pulls off everything from deep toms to snarling drones by blending two triangle VCO "membranes" with a snappy noise engine, generating complex, FM-like and percussive timbres far beyond standard voices.
- Powerful X0X Sequencer A hands-on X0X sequencer offers up to 64 steps, step & tap programming modes, per-track length/scale/direction, accent, ratchets, probability/odds, microtiming, shuffle, rolls, mute/solo, and reload; 16 banks × 16 patterns, plus Song mode.
- Master Section with Compressor & Drive The master output provides stereo panning and an onboard compressor and drive stage based on Hexinverter's Mutant Glue. A unique kick-drum-controlled sidechain animates patterns on the beat.
- Per-Voice Outputs Hexdrums features independent outputs for each voice to ensure smooth per-voice processing and recording.
- Comprehensive I/O The rear panel houses the master L&R outputs, stereo headphone output, 10 individual drum voice outputs, MIDI In and Out on 5-pin DIN, USB-B for MIDI and firmware updates, and analogue clock input, output and reset — all audio I/O on quarter-inch jacks.
Reviewers praise its immediacy and raw analog character. Sound On Sound called it a techno monster that covers 'classic' territory with panache and adds just enough modernisations to keep the 40-year-old drum machine design feeling fresh — immediate, responsive, with tight timing and a raw, in-your-face sound. MusicRadar described it as a fun and powerful attempt to consolidate some well-regarded modules from the Eurorack drum world into a single, playable box, prioritising immediacy and performance over deep menu diving.
