The HexDrums has 10 sound sources, primarily based on the Hexinverter Mutant series of percussion modules: two kick drums for different (or combined) flavours – the ‘BD9’ and ‘Bass Drum’, an optimized Mutant Machine, Snare Drum, Clap, Rimshot and HiHats.
To complete the setup, Erica Synths Cymbals have been added, featuring 10 sets of crash and ride cymbal samples. All drums have individual outputs and can be panned in the stereo field before being sent into the onboard Compressor and Master Drive- derived from the Mutant Glue. A hands-on and easy-to-program sequencer provides nuanced pattern design, up to 64-steps, including accents, per-step microtiming, ratchets, rolls, per-step probability and a memory of 16 banks with 16 patterns each.
