Hexinverter Mutant Brain, Erica Synths Edition (8HP)

Full Description

Erica Synths reissue

In September 2022, Hexinverter Electronique closed its operations. However, they agreed to partner with Eric Synths to carry on the production of their popular Mutant Brain Eurorack 8HP MIDI integration module. This module is designed for both live performances, studio experimentation and music making. It is a dynamic MIDI tool for your Eurorack setup with endless mapping options and customisation. Disregarding the norms of having complex menu browsing or space-consuming display interfaces, this module is customised via external sources.

Easy to use

Looking for a no-hassle setup? The Mutant Brain lets you easily set up MIDI within your eurorack. Unlike MIDI to CV devices that use MIDI-learn technology to program their ports, the Mutant Brain loads a SysEx file that you create by filling out a simple web form. Once it's done you won't need to keep uploading until you decide to change it. The module will act exactly as you have programmed it until you change it, allowing you to set and forget. This means you can keep a seamless link between your favourite MIDI gear and your modular rack. It's quick to set up, and quick to load a new SysEx file. You can even try setting up a modular keyboard patch with note velocity, or even use your DAW to sequence your modular. You can do that and so much more with the Mutant Brain.

Versatile and highly configurable

There's a lot you can do with the Mutant Brain. It's highly configurable, but all the changes need to be made over MIDI. You can easily set up configuration parameters using the Mutant Brain Surgery website. Head to the website and you'll be able to download and save MIDI SysEx files to your computer. These can then be sent to the new configuration and you can save the file for later use. Mutant Brain provides a versatile and highly configurable link between your stage and studio MIDI gear, you can control polyphonic synthesizer voices or multi-channel drum setups. Triggers, gates, clock divisions, sync singles, polyphonic keyboard playing, velocity, LFOs, you name it, the Mutant Brain can do it all.
