The final and most unique PĒRKONS HD-01 Limited Edition run of 100 units features a sophisticated industrial grey enclosure, signature lighting strike engraved panels and a special touch – each unit is signed by our self-proclaimed visionary, Ģirts.

The side panels are made from a selection of woods, handpicked by our friend - an artisan craftsman named Sandis Vāgners. Cherry, walnut, ash, teak, sapele, maple and padouk are featured in various combinations, creating a unique infusion of character for each pair of panels with a premium lacquer finish to bring out the characteristic grain of each wood. The engraved pattern is achieved with the Lichtenburg burning method that ensures a truly unique pattern on each panel.

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!

We are pleased to see the enjoyment the PĒRKONS has brought to users worldwide over the past two years! To celebrate its success we have decided to transform the beast by giving it a new demeanour – a timelessly black finish to match our other instruments and to visually complement the dark aesthetic that has become synonymous with Erica Synths modules and desktop instruments all over the world
