Explore the dynamic world of percussion with the Hexinverter Mutant Snare, a cutting-edge modular synthesizer component that brings the iconic trappings of the TR-808 snare into the modern Eurorack ecosystem. This module is a collaboration between Hexinverter and Erica Synths, designed to push the boundaries of snare drum synthesis. At its core, two Bridged T sinewave oscillators serve as the foundation, offering rich, organic sounds reminiscent of the original 808. These oscillators are complemented by a unique Snappy control, which introduces analog white noise to add texture and depth to your snare hits.

The Mutant Snare stands out with its extensive sound-shaping capabilities. With Shell Tone and Shell Pitch controls, you can finely tune and blend sine waves to sculpt the perfect snare sound. The module’s flexibility is further enhanced by an external audio input, allowing you to introduce any sound source into the Snappy circuit for infinite creative possibilities. Tailor your snare’s character with a dual-mode filter offering high-pass and bandpass options, and three resonance settings ranging from low to self-oscillation.

Ideal for sound designers and musicians who crave customization, the Mutant Snare’s voltage-controllable parameters, including Decay and Cutoff, deliver unparalleled modulation potential. Engage with the interactive world of modular synthesis and revolutionize your sound palette with the Hexinverter Mutant Snare.
