Synth Diy Guy Unleashes the Perkons Voice: One Module, Full Rave

Erica Synths’ Perkons Voice isn’t just an HD-01 tribute act – it’s the best bit condensed, ready to slap your modular around without breaking your back or bank. Synth Diy Guy wastes no time pointing out the obvious: lugging a massive drum machine for one voice is a mug’s game. Now, the Perkons sound set lands in your rack, no heavy lifting required.

This module lands straight in the sweet spot for anyone who craves that industrial punch but wants the freedom to patch and modulate. Synth Diy Guy’s style is all about turning practical limitations into creative ammunition, and this Perkons Voice is the new secret weapon for sample fodder, live grooves, and filthy modular jams.

Here’s where things get gnarly: every parameter on the Perkons Voice is CV controllable. That’s more than the big Perkons itself – so you’re not just stuck with manual wiggling. Want to throw a joystick at the decay, pitch, algorithm, or even the drive? Go for it. Synth Diy Guy hooks up three channels of joystick to the module, showing just how wild things can get with a bit of creative routing.

Velocity, accent, even filter cutoff get in on the action, turning this module into a living, twitchy beast. The video doesn’t just talk theory – it’s a hands-on demolition derby of triggers, pads, and modulation sources. If you’re the type who likes your drums to morph mid-jam, this is your playground.

Perkons Voice is a classic hybrid: digital sound engines up front, analog filter and drive on the back. That means you get crisp digital attacks, then smear them through analog filth for extra bite. The result is a module that can go from pristine to grimy at the flick of a knob or the swing of a CV. It’s the sort of design that rewards reckless patching and rewards you with sounds you probably shouldn’t use in polite company.

If you think one drum voice is too limiting, Synth Diy Guy is here to prove you wrong – and maybe make you feel bad for complaining. The video is a masterclass in maximal minimalism: every sound in the track comes from the Perkons Voice. Layer by layer, you get kicks, hats, snares, bass, and even melodic lines. All from this one module, driven by a joystick, pads, and a touch of DAW trickery.

What’s wild is how much mileage he gets out of recording and automating joystick movements, plus smart use of velocity and accents. Sure, you could try to write down every patch and parameter change, but honestly, you’ll get way more out of actually watching the video – you’ll see (and hear) how this thing morphs from thumpy percussion to glassy synth lines in real time.
