Key Features
Product Ref: 102671
The Mutant HiHats module from Hexinverter provides you with 808-style open and closed hi-hats, which can be played simultaneously. It utilises the super electro 808 analog circuit for the warmth and grit associated with vintage drum modules. The original VCAs have been replaced with modern-day, OTA-based VCAs for optimised audio performance. Being able to generate both closed and open hi-hats makes it versatile, with a range of modulation controls that help you sculpt the tone and the dynamics of the hi-hats. The result is crisp, and gritty 808-esque hi-hats, transforming your modular setup into a powerful drum synthesis tool.
The module combines a range of controls into this single module, allowing you to change the style, tone and dynamics of the hi-hats with ease. The VCA Drive control features on each hi-hat, allows you to quickly and easily dial-in your sound. It spans from soft metallic-style hi-hats, to overdriven and distorted crunchiness. There is also a two-position switch that allows you to choose the way the two hi-hats interact when they are triggered simultaneously. The two settings ‘Exclusive’ and ‘Fade’ allows the hi-hats to cut each other off or fade in between each other for a more blended sound. Cutoff frequency, Decay and Decay CV attenuators are also included for inputting the amount of desired levels for each of the controls.
As well as a range of in-depth modulation controls, the Mutant HiHats module also boasts a range of versatile connectivity. An external audio input allows you to synthesis your hihats from virtually any sound source for added flexibility. It also features a modular level mutant accent input, a trigger input and dual outputs. Trigger connections are also included for external equipment such as drum pads. The modular level outputs allows you to dial in hot signals ranging up to 220Vp-p. The module also boasts optocouplers for voltage control, capturing that vintage-style sound for improved performance.
