The Perkons is such fun to play with and as much as I love the immediacy and design of this machine its tone is just not for everyone. I´ve tried a lot but it will never give up its industrial character. So IMHO if you are in the market for industrial, techno and the likes, go for it - its gonna be a ton of fun. If you want a machine with a wider sonic spectrum there is probably better options out there.

Best Sequencer and Workflow ever, what i always wished, so at first glance it ticked all the boxes, looked like 4 "eurorack drum modules" but in fact the sounds have few sweet spots, not nearly as versatile as it looks. And mine had a few bugs, hanging up after muting tracks, losing motion paramter recordings - fortunately could return it.

No micro timing is a pain, and inability to see what a kits settings are makes it tough to understand what’s going on. Jamming from scratch is great until you need to recall and remember what the old settings were.

😮 I did not know it had motion control 🤔 had been steering towards the Modor dr 2 but it’s a tough call. Think the Modor has a bit more variety but the sheer playability of the perkons is hard to beat. Think it’s strength & weakness it’s its tendency to pull towards dark industrial techno.

Yes! This and Pulsar -23 are the best industrial machines out there. This one will do Nine inch nails perfectly, just use less of the master compressor. The master compressor maxed out like I have it makes it sound more aggressive, like DOOM/Mick Gordon. Nine Inch Nails have a less compressed sound.

@MilesAwayOfficial
Ай бұрын
Yes! You need to let go of thinking about it like a traditional drum machine, where you launch sequences. Treat it the same way you would a Moog or Prophet synth, it really is more an instrument meant to be played. I like to set up 4-5 different kits and patterns that all work together (same rough tuning/sound good at the same tempo), then I mix and match switching between them, all the while twisting the knobs to morph the sound. If you watch carefully during the DOOM jam in this video this is exactly how I am performing with it. I pre-tuned everything to the same note, and then just went crazy mixing and matching sequences, doing live automation, messing with the BBD. Hope that helps! P.S. I will almost certainly do another video on the Perkons in the fall so stay tuned.
