Samples From Mars has returned with a new collection of gritty grooves and hard-hitting drums sourced from the Perkons HD-01, a powerful, 4-voice drum machine featuring wavetables and digital oscillators fed into multimode analog filters, overdrive, and an analog bucket brigade delay.
Featuring 650 one-hits and 350 loops, Perkons From Mars gives you access to the distinctive, hard-hitting sound of this modern classic, with everything from fat bass drums, punchy snares ratchet claps and tasty toms, bass and synth hits, fx, subs, blips and lasers.
Each of the Perkons’ four voices is equipped with a unique digital engine that runs through analog filters and overdrive for additional shaping and character. Labelled simply as Voice 1, Voice 2, etc, it’s clear that each part can be used to shape nearly any kind of drum sound you desire.
Although we aren’t actually sculpting sounds scratch on this machine (due to its digital nature), it feels like we are – it’s easy to dial in a classic 808 or 909 sounding kick, and then turn a few knobs to make it a bit more alien sounding. The beauty of the Perkons is that it can ride this fine line between recognizable, classic, strange and experimental.
The sample pack is available to purchase for $29 USD.
