Erica Synths has announced that its first drum modules are now available for ordering, including Bass Drum, Snare Drum, Toms, Clap, Mixer & Mixer Lite.

The company’s Techno System will be a set of 15 modules put together, as one of the most advanced techno/industrial music performance instruments ever created. The Techno System contains a set of new analog drum modules, advanced drum/loop sampler, and a fat sounding fully analog synth voice designed for screaming acid basslines.
