Erica Synths HexDrums Analog Drum Machine Hands-On Review
Synthesist Ziv Eliraz – in his latest loopop video – takes an in-depth look at the new Erica Synths + Hexinverter HexDrums analog drum machine.
The HexDrums features 10 sound sources, mostly based on the Hexinverter Mutant series of percussion modules. They include two kick drums for different (or combined) flavors – the BD9 and Bass drum, an optimized Mutant Machine, Snare drum, Clap, Rimshot and HiHats.
In his video, Eliraz offers an overview of the HexDrums, including its build and capabilities, dives deep into the sound design options of each drum module, demonstrates it in action, and shares his thoughts on drum machine’s pros and cons.
