Musicians, producers, and drum synth aficionados in search of a next-level percussion synthesizer for live or studio applications will be impressed with the erica synths LXR-02 Drum Synthesizer. Developed in cooperation with Sonic Potions, the LXR-02 is the next evolution of the original LXR drum machine that was originally available in kit form, but with many upgrades and updates. The LXR-02 features six different instrument voices, each with over 30 parameters to tweak. The machine can produce a wide variety of sounds from classic analog emulations to full-on crunchy digital mayhem.
The onboard sequencer is fast and easy to use. There are 7 drum tracks that control the 6 voices. Tracks 6 and 7 share the hi-hat voice and offer independent decay times to create the open and closed hi-hat sound. Each voice has a dedicated LFO with a wide variety of wave forms. There is a single insert FX slot with four effects to choose from (Drive, Ringmod, Comp, Delay) plus a performance mode that allows you to morph between two kits in real time. Mute, add rolls, set the shuffle amount, and apply a global sample-rate-deduction effect. The LXR-02 includes a 12VDC power supply.
