Perkons HD-01 | A Melodic moment

Decided to take a break from the norm and attempt to coax some Melodic Ambient notes from this aggressive unit. I think it came out very different than the norm. I used the latest Firmware to program notes. C minor with my Keystep Pro helped prep the internal Perkons sequencer (see my firmware video). I then used the Odds functions to break away from the 1 bar limit. Vongon is so good at giving stuff a little nostalgia.

Taming the Lion......perfect! Great job Mark!

[@Noise-Maker]

Thanks Luis! It's fun to tame :)

[@saucissonfurtif]

Taming rien du tout le mec tournes les potards un peu au pif ça se voit il hésites souvent sans trop savoir ce qu’il va se passer. Le seul truc peut-être pas aléatoire qu’il a fait et je dis bien peut être c’est la séquence elle même.

Great to see Perkons not doing whats intended! Really amazing take on it!

[@Noise-Maker]

Thank you so much! Was nice to see how versatile it could be.

[@Hessencemusic]

It looks aan amazing machine. But I love the way you use it.. much more ambient than other demos.

[@Noise-Maker]

Thanks! Its an amazing machine to work with. A little more versatile than what I initially thought. The ambient capabilities are great.

[@Landman_sounds]

Wonderful

[@Noise-Maker]

Thank you!

[@LorenzoStoakes]

Incredible work mate, you have a talent. As an owner of one of these I know how unusual it is to get this kind of sound from the machine ;) What a beast it is though. Love my perkons.

[@Noise-Maker]

Thank you very much! Thats a very encouraging comment. Those synth voices turned out to be simpler than i thought once i started playing the notes in to the Perkons sequencer. It starts to feel like a proper connection. I dont think i could do this without the new firmware. And congrats on your Perkons!

[@cheesyquaver]

This is lovely. Beautiful composition.

[@Noise-Maker]

Many thanks! Glad you like it!

[@devmech]

Really good stuff. Lush and moody. This machine is so versatile. If you could go back to the '90s with a Perkons you could get signed to Warp.

[@Noise-Maker]

@@devmech Thank you! Very versatile indeed. I hope they keep up with the updates. Lots of room for more fun stuff.

[@leecheneler6202]

this is great! a really sublime composition, and not what i was expecting to hear from a perkons. great stuff!

[@Noise-Maker]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the positive comment. It was fun to see the machine work a little different and sing in such a melodic way. It has some great potential for these types of compositions.

[@SimeonMakesMusic]

Cool! It's both technically interesting and musically pleasing

[@Noise-Maker]

Thank you so much. Im glad you enjoyed that!

[@eamfos]

great sound

[@Noise-Maker]

Thank you. It often surprises me with its range.

[@letmefeelthevibes]

lovely

[@Noise-Maker]

🙂Thank you

[@InFamousProductions]

that's great . I have one, and have been thinking of trying to do something like this. I have all the outs separate, so I don't get to use the built in delay, and I forgot how good it sounds. great job on this patch.

[@Noise-Maker]

Thanks! I forget about the internal Delay sometimes myself. It has so much to give. I like FX pedals with stereo and a Mix setting. Then having the main outs going to the Pedals. This way i can use the sends knob on each voice to the internal delay. The internal delay can really change each voice. And when that outputs to your main outs into a pedal chain its bliss :)

[@SURCOlive]

Love it!

[@Noise-Maker]

Ah thank you SURCO! Much appreciated you stopping by to listen and spread encouragement here. 🙏

@@Noise-Maker Always!

[@jaffasplaffa1]

Checked a few demos on this thing and to be honest was pretty underwhelmed with all the ones I saw, they all used to for really nasty, not very good sounding percussion. But this is, without a doubt, the best showcase I've seen on this thing so far!

[@Noise-Maker]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for the wonderful comment.

[@GizzyDillespee]

That's wild! You could have a few patterns and kits of Berlin School breakdowns in the middle of your hard techno🤣🥜🧅🥥🥑

[@GizzyDillespee]

An avocado is nuts in Mixtec or Nahuatl, one of those, so don't @ me that it's "not a nut".

[@Noise-Maker]

That would be cool!

[@metamyther]

nice job! as an owner on one of these i have no idea how you did this!

[@Noise-Maker]

Thank you! I have a video that explains the process a little. I believe its the one regarding the Firmware update if you are interested.

[@metamyther]

@@Noise-Maker cool thanks for that, i'll check it out

[@IndividualName]

Interesting take and great jam. Surprised to hear voice 4 can be used like this. One bar too long for my taste, though ;-)

[@Noise-Maker]

Yeah I was surprised myself when i set out to attempt this. I thought maybe two voices would work how i visualized. But they are all good. Voice one surprised me most for some reason. Thanks for the comment!

[@dyscobiskit]

Genuine Techno 👊🏼

[@Noise-Maker]

Thanks Dyscobiskit!

[@johnn6681]

You need a second one for drums 😉

[@Noise-Maker]

@@johnn6681 haha, been thinking how good that would be since my last upload.
