Every Perc kit consists of the controller, beater and clamp which will allow mounting of the
beater in a convenient way. All the necessary cabling and an AC adapter are also included.

First, connect the beater using the DMX XLR captive socket located on the back of the
controller. Please avoid connecting beater to the controller when it’s already turned on.
There’s a slight chance that one day this might damage it. Connect the attached AC adapter
to the unit, and of course, to the power outlet. Once this is done, just set up the beaters in
place, and it’s all ready to start hitting things.

Now feed the Perc controller with a MIDI data or analog CV signals. Perc will work with any
MIDI and CV transmitting device, favourite DAW, hardware sequencer, modular system or
smartphone apps. Just connect any source via USB, MIDI DIN or CV gate input, and it’s
ready for pairing.

There’s only one switch on the controller surface, it’s here to put the Perc into a learning
mode. Press the button for two seconds, the LED on the back panel will start flashing. Now
the controller is in its learn mode and is waiting for a signal from a controlling device. This
way the Perc controller will learn the MIDI note and channel for its corresponding beater.

What it’s all about

The Perc is a MIDI/CV controlled drumming machine which can play on pretty much
everything that drums and resonates. It wasn’t created with a classic drum set on the mind
