Never heard the Perkons described as cheesy or lame. It’s gritty, dark, industrial and often subby and harsh. But cheesy? There’s nothing typical about the unit. And even though it’s digital, it has analog filters and sounds heavy.

[@LiamKillen]

I agree with you whole heartedly ! I mentioned in the video that some of the drum sounds (in a vacuum) sound cheesy and that it would be cool if they would allow you to modulate using your own digital samples. I think it’s the modulation + FX that make it sound gritty, dark and industrial as you described.

[@SIAKPHDLIVE]

Yeah same I got to play with one in Germany a few months ago and I got it to slap real quick real easy!

[@louderthangod]

Agreed. I think some of the sounds dialed in here, especially in the beginning were not very interesting but I have no problem getting all kinds of unique sounds. You can really get some huge tones as well.

[@audiosuy]

I'm with you... What are these people listening to?

[@fotomaton7852]

I'm a drum machine nut and have had all the OG TRs, Elektron boxes etc. The Perkons is imo the most exciting drum machine since the 909. This was a good demo of it but calling it cheesy & lame was uncalled and shows a clear misunderstanding of what this unit is and can do. FYI it is not all digital, each voice has a multimode analog filter making it a hybrid. It has multiple synthesis engines and the BBD delay is actually analog too, not an emulation as stated by Mateo (kinda surprised he wasn't aware of that). That said the unconventional nature of this drum machine can be off-putting like most Erica Synth instruments, they veer towards a more forward-thinking industrial techno side. The company is a little cryptic in its product descriptions, purposely so I think. Anyways, this box is on top of my GAS list, build quality looks amazing too.

[@LiamKillen]

Very interesting take- thanks for this!

[@KeithDuncanSound]

The perkons hd-01 is my favourite drum machine ever. If they announced a hd-02 I would pre order in a heartbeat. I want them to make it bigger. Haha

[@LiamKillen]

I’m feeling that way about the Vermona perfourmer

[@camphabenero]

More Mateo ! I really appreciate seeing these deep dives about live performances and hybrid set ups.

[@LiamKillen]

Yes! Here’s another from him incase you haven’t seen it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHa8fGB9jMRma9Usi=s-rQHTNhCeaxKaDU

Going down the " rabbit hole " of unlimited sound ... always insightful content when like minds get together and dialogue .. cheers to the sounds of music... thanks gentlemen! ..

[@LiamKillen]

Cheers to you!

[@hexwavemusic]

Great setup and walkthrough, that Perkons is real nice!

[@LiamKillen]

Hey thx for watching! 😊

[@Saulius303]

I love my Perkons❤. If someone is not happy, let me know. I'll buy it. I have been playing live set with it from ambient to techno. Even playing an improvisation sets with acoustic instruments. Drum machine is a wrong name because Perkons can do a lot more .

[@LiamKillen]

It’s also an amazing drone machine!

[@karate9957]

YEAH MATEO IS BACK.

[@LiamKillen]

And he’ll be back again 😏

[@Seekandtune]

Your favorite piece of kit!

[@LiamKillen]

I’m more of an Analog Rytm type of guy for drum machines!

[@thanassisxydeas]

Interesting video! I have the Bebe Cherie and it's fantastic. It makes your sound with two or three movements, magical. I don't know of anything quite like it.

[@LiamKillen]

I think a video specifically on the Bebe Cherie would make sense

[@Noise-Maker]

I love seeing Perkons videos :)😇

[@LiamKillen]

Thx for watching! 😊

[@ColeDano]

Bebe Cherie!

[@LiamKillen]

Oui oui!

[@mikewatkinson1996]

When yall were talking about that OTO mixer, at first i heard its "the O.T.O. Baby Shitty". I did a double take like wtf did he just say lmao

[@LiamKillen]

Bebe cherie- kind of sounds like that with a French accent eh? Lol

[@Thegingerwolff]

First person in the history of history to slate the mighty perkons. Just so you know........i know where you live

[@LiamKillen]

😳

[@alessiooissela227]

Nice 😍

[@LiamKillen]

🍻

[@alessiooissela227]

Nooo😢 why did you cut the performance on 17:41 😭🤌🤌

[@LiamKillen]

Sorrryyyyyyyy

[@peladoclaus]

Thinking this also. Gear review is cool, but you've been having some top notch peeps on too. I'd love to hear these guests jamming out maybe on a separate video? You could have this kind of thing in an additional Playlist kind of thing?

[@damienwoods5744]

Agree. Playing music then analysing work flow.

[@markguardiani1389]

please post some of the perfomance!

[@Thegingerwolff]

I know right? I've got a perkons and syntakt and that end part sounded so cool

[@boombap08]

Octatrack maybe could act as a mixer/efx for both perkons/syntakt then use it for samples too?

[@LiamKillen]

Yes you could def do that!

[@LiamKillen]

Yes you could def do that!

[@vortex2177]

External processing?

[@LiamKillen]

Yes? 🤔

[@tangbrotang]

Woooow OTO Bebe Cherie mixer nice

[@LiamKillen]

Almost wonder if the video should been about that lol

[@vinnieRice]

New Elektron box in beta testing I see... TONVERK?

[@LiamKillen]

Still not sure if that’s actually a thing! As for an Elektron mixer? Yes please

[@vinnieRice]

@@LiamKillen Hmm....

[@chateaudisco1436]

@@vinnieRiceare you referring to the pink unit?

[@bryanbytes]

More on Oto Bebe Cherie please

[@LiamKillen]

Noted

[@Goldlion973]

Wanted one but its not so diverse soundwise from what I've heard online. Apparently the chassis also feels empty, much better devices out there for the money.

[@LiamKillen]

With modulation it’s actually super diverse from what I heard!

[@LiamKillen]

For me- the Analog Rytm is just the way

[@markparker4362]

"Cheesy and lame"???? I think that description is definitely cheesy and lame!!! If you want the same old same old, don't go for the Perkons!

[@LiamKillen]

I think with the modulation though that’s what brings it into an entirely new territory

[@Toaster.Head.]

I think with how cheesy the sounds are, maybe it's not a good investment?

[@LiamKillen]

Mateo made em sound good! 🤷‍♂️

[@qwertymesa]

first

[@LiamKillen]

Better first then last!

[@utubebroadcastme]

Everyone wants Elektron to come up with a mixer ... except Elektron 😅

[@LiamKillen]

It would destroy - or maybe not

[@bryanbytes]

Octatrack can be used as a mixer

[@rijksvoorlichtingsdienst4427]

Why compete in the mixer market?

[@bryanbytes]

Everyone has their preferred tools and types of tools… for some, small differences in mixers can mean a lot If I could only use one “effect”, I’d chose a filter / equalizers similar to a mixer
