Hexinverter Electronique Mutant Snare Eurorack Drum Module

We say...

Classic turbocharged 808-style snare module from Hexinverter, now rebuilt by Erica Synths.

Manufacturer's description

Designed by Hexinverter, from classic electro snares to warping, alien percussion, the Mutant Snare is a radical departure from the static sounds of the TR-808.

Features

• Analog bridged-T sinewave oscillators, for those organic-sounding tones we've come to love from the 808
• TONE control blends between the two sinewaves of different frequency
• SHELL PITCH lets you tune one of the sine waves, to change the pitch of your snare drum
• SNAPPY adds some noise to the snare
• An analog white noise generator feeds the SNAPPY circuit
• An external input lets you patch any sound source you like into the SNAPPY generator
• Coltage control of SNAPPY decay
• SNAPPY feeds into an analog selectable high-pass or band-pass filter
• Voltage control of filter cutoff frequency
• When nothing is plugged into the cutoff CV input, the SNAPPY envelope OR the adjustable sinewave from the SHELL generator normalize through the CV attenuverter for cutoff CV. A jumper on the back of the module allows you to select which of these internal modulation signals are routed here
• filter has three resonance settings: classic 808 (low resonance), high resonance, and self oscillation
• bipolar attenuators (aka: 'attenuverters') on CV inputs

Redesigned by Erica Synths in close collaboration with Hexinverter:

In September 2022 Stacy Gaudreau - the founder of Hexinverter Électronique, announced closing down the operations. Following their announcement, Erica Synths in cooperation with Hexinverter Électronique saw a way for their incredible and truly unique music instruments to keep on inspiring musicians and finding a home in countless studios to come. We strongly believe the effort and innovation incorporated in Hexinverter Électronique eurorack modules are far too great to prematurely become history. Erica Synths will take over the manufacturing, sales, and support of several Hexinverter Électronique modules. While retaining all functionality of Hexinverter Électronique modules, Erica Synths redesigned the hardware of modules and will provide support for reissue modules only.
