"On first glance this is ticking all the boxes."
hahahaha
Oh no!😱
I don't think this belongs on Audio Pillz Bad Gear selection, no?
😂😂😂😂
Sounds absolutely great
Finally someone properly putting this thing through the paces.
By that I mean putting it in a more of a mix, playing with it to make music first and foremost.
Nothing wrong with the NOISE BOX GO BOOM beats, or more experimental stuff out there, I often dig that too, but this was the video I was searching for.
Great sounding jams and nicely produced as usual - thanks.
Not only that... you can actually follow what he's doing. Unlike lopoop.
Hey Benn, you make really engaging and interesting videos. You have a uniqueness in the sea of youtube. Thanks for spending the time to share this awesome synth with us.
As expected there's some fantastic sounds coming out of this! Great to see how flexible and well thought out the sequencing is too.
Intrigued by this one. Does sound and look superb.
Very thorough walk through sir.
Yip, if I was rich this would be the drum machine I'd buy. Sounds great, sounds unique, does weird stuff too, love those types of knobs like on my Manhattan Analog modules. Looks literally built like a tank. They even put it in a kind of sea foam green / ocean turquoise that would great with a Fender Jaguar propped against it.
@@compucorder64 Good thing you said "literally". I 'd hate for anyone to think you were speaking rhetorically. Or hyperbolically. Or ironically. Thank you for making that distinction.
@@bonusflaps1749 Flap off
I heard Perkons many times on big system, first time even before it was released. Kodek and Leo Novuss are absolute monsters playing it. With couple FX pedals you can basically play a whole set on Perkons. And boyyy it sounds good live. Thick and punchy.
yup agree
Where does the melody come from? Let me guess... :) A....?
@@dddux who needs melody? 😉
Love the lack of menu diving, looks like fun to play!
This speaks to me for the same reason!
Man I dig that 1:1 sequencer for 4 instruments. Brilliant work here Benn.
You are all over the place. I like it.
Great review. I dig the jams. Surprised at the synths used, and how much I liked each jam.
You've made the best intro, demo, explanation video out there on the Perkons. I got one arriving this week!
Benn Jordan, The last two hardware jams starting in about @14:46 are spot on. Very lovely. I see this instrument taking you on a diversion of your regularly scheduled productions cultivating a new sub genre of yourself.
Iterations are everywhere.
Nice 1.
This seems like an instrument to build a studio around.
If making bleep-bloop garbage music is what your studio is all about.
@@suspiciouswatermelon7639 It also makes aggressive dark techno, judging the preponderance of the evidence.
@@suspiciouswatermelon7639 "bleep-bloop garbage music"
You sound like a real electronic music/drum machine synth fan
@@suspiciouswatermelon7639 I’m gonna use it for my Appalachian folk music. Pitchfork BNM incoming 🕺
If you like the sound of R2D2 on Steroids......
Of course. Erica is the absolute best. Their UI for everything is spectacular.
Man this thing is a legend. I think people will be using this and talking about it 10 or 20 years from now.
It has all the knob per function I love and look and sound, but not any the features I need still it’s one of my favorite that came out lately and love the build and color.
Thx and I agree - I had a chance to play on it and I was glued for almost a hour in the shop... amazing beast
Sometimes, I spark the spliff, and i run back a classic Benn vid. The ending jams be hittin
I love your videos mate... you are actually kind of a role model for me, I appreciate all the content and knowledge
Man you are just the coolest, I'm definitely not looking for a drum machine, but I watched and listen to this video till the end with an smile on my face. Keep it up!
WOW!! Just loved the "PURE SYNTHPORN" part! Sounds amazing Benn!!!
Ooo. I love the way it sounds in these demos. I can tell it can make some earth rumbling industrial battle drums super easily and I'm all about that. Erica synths definitely know what they're doing!
Hi. My name is also George L.
@@GeorgeLocke no kidding! Yeah there's also some guy George L who makes cables and is way more successful than me 🤣
Man, that jam with Perkons, vector and NDLR? 🔥 wheeew
This thing looks amazing but that price is eye-watering!
then there's the LXR-02 that seem really interesting for a more affordable price (and a more standard format also). not the same league.
Truth.
buy it on a credit card, make a youtube video and return it
It's really not, the TR-909 was released in 1983 at an MSRP of $1195 which is $3,648 in today's dollars. Full-size, full-feature, high-quality machines have come DOWN in price over the years, but the availability of Volcas and Behringer clones has skewed peoples' expectations of cost. Sure you can get a TR8S for $600-700 but look at the difference in build quality, the size of the company, etc. The sheer number of tact switches and high-quality knobs and pots on the Perkons drives the manufacturing costs way up plus metal case vs plastic, smaller company, etc.
@CT-ho6si I'm not suggesting the price isn't merited but it nevertheless is quite a bit more than I'd spend on a drum machine and, against the economic backdrop, it's definitely eye-watering for me personally
So many new cool drum machines/drum synths coming out. The pulsar 23, HD-01, Landscape Fm Noon (you should get your hands on one) and the THC syncussion mini!
pulsar 23 is unique, not sure what's special about the Perkons
Awesome video! This thing looks and sounds totally rad. One of those things where I'm sure the price is appropriate but also way out of my league. Like you I love seeing an analog drum machine break out of the 808 rut.
The sound sources are digital though. Only the filters and VCAs are analog.
They should have named this thing G.A.S.
Gotta get one. So versatile and a breath of fresh air.
Great display of what this baby can do. The demo of Perkons with Roland Phrase Lab and Cyclone's 303 clone was where it's at; for me. Keep up the amazing content. 👏
Fantastic machine. Great video overview. I love the way this thing works. Now I want one! 🤪
Wow, as a drummer, I think that is one hell of a cool drum machine. I'd love to make some evolving weirdness and play acoustic drums over it.
I also really enjoyed your music making with this thing.
thx for another excellent review. your lighting/colorizing is my fav of all the youtube synth channels
That functional overview has to be one of the best gear showcases I've seen recently
2:28
i think there’s a setting to change that. Try opening the iPhone manual on a secondary device next to your iPhone displaying the drum manual for easy reference to your manual’s manual.
This thing is THE drum machine.. I believe this eats them all. Sound wise for sure.
Jomox Alphabase would like to have a word with you.
Another sweet video ( I especially loved the out of focus lights moving around like microorganisms) and of course, another drum machine to pine after.
You can always pick up the er-1 app and run it through a nice compressor /EQ.
good to hear, mine's on preorder!
To echo what others have said - I too love the variety in your content, it's all great regardless of topic!
Don't worry about 'paper manual'. The paper industry helps trees to be planted.
I love how big it is and easy to work on.
Wow! The piece at 16:37-ish is amazing!
Solid run down/review. I'd love to hear Jam 3 on a cassette some day!
sounds amazing, and your demo tracks are really inspiring - but damn, that's one huge ass drum machine! it's a bloody tank!
Lovely instrument! Has a lot going on in a very specialized field, and it does it well. I'm sure it's worth it at the cost. Really cool piece to have as a permanent home in a studio.
This is why I LOVE my digitakt.
Every time I see another one of these powerhouse drum machines I realize I can do all that’s on offer and more using just the that little elektron box.
The DT will surely become a classic along with the octatrack Mki/ii and I’m so glad I pulled the trigger when I did.
True, but the digi is much more menu divey and to me less intuitive. Feels like using a computer. Look at all these beautiful knobs on the front panel, so hands on and fun.
Can’t wait👽
Already quite impressed by your fancy little show :)
Savage stuff Benn! Perkons on the way thanks to your review 🚀
This is the best sounding demo out there.
I feel like this and the pulsar 23 were in the same litter but this puppy got trained
lovely compositions
Love the Phrase Lab, like to see it in more of your videos. Cheers
Best rundown! Thank you! I just got mine and this has showed me so much stuff.
The parameter locking seems amazing.
Perimeter / parameter 👌🏽
Adding on to your comment about the state of drum machines, I’ve noticed that most of them that are neither sample based nor old school Roland derivatives tend to be grooveboxes rather than straight, pure drum machines. So while this one isn’t for me I really appreciate what Erica is doing here to advance the world of drum machines.
I used to love playing techno on the 4 synth trax of the korg emx1 this reminds me of the way that thing had a chunky throb factor
A dream machine I can't afford! Great demo!
lovely. if you haven't already, also check out the modor dr-2 .. an expensive 'sleeper' machine, imho.. the firmware updates have been adding a ton of functionality. the combination of that and the perkons would be.. something :)
Just received ours yesterday - hey, we're Thundergate, so I pretty much have to have the Thundergod drum machine aye? Not disappointed in the least. Lost hours last night jamming and no regrets. The sound goes deep and the drones are just wild to boot. Thank you for you resource and your jams. Awesome stuff Ben! X
Its dope. We need this in the Tenori-On form-factor!
what’s “perimeter locking”? is that like a fence?
Cool instrument, thanks for making an interesting and informative vid!
Really digging Jam 3. Gotta play it as I strut down the sidewalk. 😎
Can't wait for mine to come in!
I did not catch from other videos about this gadget that it does motion sequence-y things, that is something I dearly miss about using electribes and to have it on an analog-ish unit like this is pretty appealing.
it’s digital
@@jw8350 *nods* thank you for clarifying!
Drum machine lull? I have to remind myself I don’t need anymore drum machines (but there’s so many cool ones) Lol
Ones I lust after
Moog DFAM (Analog drum synth)
Model Cycles (FM!)
Volca Kick (filter rez)
Ones I own
Volca Drum (digital drum synth)
All the Circuits. (Sample based)
Electribes (sample based)
Drum Computer (ios drum synth) {my fav drum machine ever}
No 808s we’re harmed in the making of this post
A very original instrument. Thanks!
For me, the best reviews show what a piece of gear can do by making music with the damn thing. This is great.
Haha that catch and SD card output. Brilliant
That SD card will take your eye out 😮 Great video, thanks for sharing. 👍🏻
That manual is incredible. Companies just don't care that much anymore.
finally, a creative demo of this machine - now I feel like I've finally heard what it can really do. must...resist...
Amazing machine💥
Pure synthporn lived up to its name👏🤤
P. S. I would love to see you get your hands on an Lxr02
I have been looking at drum machines a lot recently, and then stumbled across this yesterday. I feel in love with this but just can't justify the price attached with this ATM (despite all the GAS trying to talk me into it!!!)
Might have to look at building one myself instead at this rate...
I loved seeing you synched up a TT-03 with it - i have one too!! Want expecting you to pull that out of the bag on this demo, nice one!! 👍
Hahahaha.....that opening line is Soooooo spot on!.. really made me laugh. Thx Bro!
I love how you said every alternate pronunciation except perkons at the end there
With that price, my wife is thinking of divorcing me for just watching this video. 😃
I really like the videos out for this so far.
11:33 nice!
also, the music at the music in the verdict section is hilarious. ^^
Love the alligator clip just peaking out on the right, searching for something to chomp on this beast.
Omg seeing that manual makes me stupid happy
Sweet box. I pulled the trigger on the Syntrx ii instead, and they've provided no updates on it, which is a bummer. I'm looking forward to it, whenever it comes.
This seems like the ultimate electro groove machine
Man, check out the Korg drumlogue. I think it has a vibe as far as new drum machines go. I love those clicks buttons on the Erica synths unit :)
Have to say I found the demo's for Drumlol very uninspiring, I went for LXR 02, sounds brilliant....
17:00 sounds cool , its a good piece of gear
wow! the part at 14:24 is brilliant
i was literally about to comment about the LXR-02 when you started talking about erica synths
Very first thing I'm gonna do after I get mine is try to recreate your first groove, cause 😍
This stands out to me as the perfect review. While I personally enjoy cryptic reviews of freaky gear in languages I do not speak, sometimes I just want the meat of it. Perfect flow and of course, now I want one.
I'm glad so many people love the sounds this machine makes, because to me it sounds like every other German drummachine that came out in the past 20 years. Not that that's a bad thing, but it sounds very dated. But probably not to people elsewhere in the world.
I put off watching this for a year because I knew i was going to want one of these
Alright. I've always had trouble wrapping my head around drum machines. But, dammit, you're making me want this thing. Like, a lot!
Have you tried Samplebrain yet? Looking forward to a video about it :)
That thing takes me back to the early Fruity Loops days! 😭
Huge.
If I was super free, I could become a drum machine soloist.
Regarding the weird and whacky capability, John Grant and Damon Albarn will definitely want one.
Are those hat rolls that speed up and slow down generated on the Perkons or the modular in that section?
I love this...I keep falling for the pricey gear
Seems to be a very cool machine. I have a love-hate relationship with my Pulsar 23 and they seem to share at least a few DNA strands. Judging from the video the Perkons seems to be way more versatile and playable though. Guess I will buy one, love-hate this one as well and continue building drum sounds with the modular.
Nice piece of gear. Only to bad things, its expensive and it mono. But i guess you got the individual outs for the second one... and yes the "x out of 4" thing. "Per-cycle conditions" or however they are called... when that was introduced to the octatrack... it really is like a much better way of expanding the sequencer length. It's easier to program, it doesn't need a higher memory. I don't know how other brands are not introducing this to their sequencers. I'd be so happy to have this in the mc707.
The way it sounds, it reminds me of Korg Volca Drum.
The jam with NDLR is pretty nice.
Any advice for getting the volca drum to sound thicc? I don't mean trap-808-boomy, just full-bodied. I love the ease of interface and the openness of the engine but am having trouble getting it to hang with my other stuff.
@@MrOhioutod try adding a compressor
@@MrOhioutod Any musical examples of how you wanted to sound?
such a clean looking machine
I haven't seen a Roland Phrase Lab in forever, I had one way back in the day :D
