Introducing four re-issues of classic Hexinverter drum modules – the Mutant Bass Drum, Mutant Snare, Mutant Clap and Mutant Hi-hats! These modules are perfect for anyone with a taste for classic TR808/909 sounds, but with a greatly expanded tonal range with voltage control over parameters and, of course, optional high distortion! 

Mutant Hi-Hats is a classic electro percussion synthesis design reborn as something completely different. Hexinverter wanted to recreate a classic hi-hat synthesis design as something new and exciting, so they took the super electro 808 circuit and transformed it into a powerful creative tool for modular synthesis.

• Width: 13HP
• Depth: 20mm
• Power: 23mA @ +12V / 17mA @ -12V

Features:

• Analogue hihat circuitry capable of synthesising vanilla TR-808 open and closed hihat sounds (simultaneously)
• External audio input lets you synthesise hihats from virtually any sound source (Jupiter Storm, vcNOIZ, etc.)
• Lo-fidelity original VCAs replaced by OTA-based modern VCAs
• VCA DRIVE control for each hihat allows you to dial in anything from soft metallic hihats to extremely overdriven, crunchy hihats
• Exclusive switch lets you select how the two hihats (open/closed) interact with eachother when triggered at the same time
• Cutoff frequency control for internal resonant bandpass filter
• Resonant filter can be switched on/off
• Modular level mutual accent input (0-5V CV)
• Trigger input accepts almost anything as a trigger signal
• Non-invasive analogue optocouplers used for voltage control, thus, completely vintage sounds can still be had if that's what you're after!
• Completely redesigned, hi-fi signal chain spares no expense by replacing cheap transistor amplifiers with low noise opamp and OTA equivalents
