{"product_id":"bullfrog-drums","title":"Erica Synths Bullfrog Drums","description":"\u003cdiv lang=\"en\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eErica Synths Bullfrog Drums\u003c\/strong\u003e is a 7-voice sample-based drum machine, sampler, and CV\/Gate sequencer developed jointly by Erica Synths and Richie Hawtin — the third instrument in the Bullfrog ecosystem alongside the Bullfrog and Bullfrog XL synthesizers. The aluminum enclosure measures 405 x 185 x 60 mm and weighs 2.7 kg, with a TR-909-inspired interface: large color-coded knobs and clicky buttons. A built-in speaker and microphone enable standalone use and on-the-spot sampling without additional gear. The instrument is positioned for beginners and seasoned performers alike who need a compact, tactile rhythm center with full CV and MIDI integration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003e7 sample voices with per-step control and an XoX sequencer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eEach of the seven voices offers independent sample manipulation: tuning, start point, sample length, attack, decay, filter cutoff and resonance, drive, stereo pan, and individual level — all accessible directly from the front panel without menu navigation. Because the voice architecture is entirely sample-based, Bullfrog Drums is not limited to percussion; any sound can be loaded across the seven voices, including chord stabs, drones, noise textures, and field recordings. The factory library contains 7 banks of 32 sounds each, curated by Richie Hawtin and the Erica Synths team; 16 additional banks are allocated for user samples, with 64 MB of total sample memory. Kits are stored in 4 banks of 16 slots each. The XoX sequencer runs up to 64 steps with per-step parameter locks and full parameter automation, ratcheting, accent, adjustable probability per step, swing, and microtiming. Pattern playback direction is selectable between forward, reverse, and ping-pong for instant live variation without reprogramming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eCV\/Gate sequencer track and modular integration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eA dedicated CV\/Gate sequencer track with 1V\/oct and Gate outputs on two 3.5mm jacks drives an external analog synthesizer or modular system in parallel with the drum voices — eliminating the need for a separate sequencer in a hybrid setup. Connectivity covers MIDI IN\/OUT on 5-pin DIN, USB-C for MIDI transfer, sample management, backup, and firmware updates, plus clock in\/out and reset for synchronization with a DAW or modular clock source. Sampling input is available via 6.3mm line input, built-in microphone, or USB. A stereo main output and headphone output handle monitoring and routing. Power comes from an included 12VDC external supply. List price is €600 + VAT, with shipping from May 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e7 sample-based voices — any audio source: drums, stabs, drones, noise, field recordings\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePer-voice: tuning, start point, sample length, attack, decay, filter cutoff, resonance, drive, pan, level\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFactory library: 7 banks x 32 sounds (Richie Hawtin + Erica Synths); 16 banks for user samples; 64 MB total memory\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eKits: 4 banks x 16 slots\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eXoX sequencer: up to 64 steps, parameter locks, automation, ratchet, accent, swing, microtiming, per-step probability\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePattern playback modes: forward, reverse, ping-pong\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePattern storage: 4 banks x 16 patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDedicated CV\/Gate track (1V\/oct + Gate, 2 x 3.5mm) for controlling analog synthesizers\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSampling inputs: 6.3mm line input, built-in microphone, USB\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in speaker and microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAluminum enclosure — 405 x 185 x 60 mm, 2.7 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eVoices: 7 x sample-based (any audio type)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSample memory: 64 MB; 7 factory banks x 32 sounds + 16 user banks\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eKits: 4 banks x 16 slots\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSequencer: XoX, up to 64 steps, parameter locks, probability, swing, ratchet, microtiming, accent\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePatterns: 4 banks x 16 patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCV\/Gate out: 2 x 3.5mm jack (1V\/oct + Gate)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eClock: clock in\/out, reset\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMIDI: 5-pin DIN IN\/OUT\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eUSB: USB-C (MIDI, backup, firmware, sample transfer)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAudio in: 6.3mm jack (line level), built-in microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAudio out: stereo main, headphone output\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSpeaker: built-in\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePower: 12VDC (PSU included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDimensions: 405 x 185 x 60 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eWeight: 2.7 kg \/ 5.95 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Erica Synths","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58445309542732,"sku":"54321","price":679.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0769\/9854\/1644\/files\/EricaSynthsBullfrogDrums1_edcac2dc-9156-49a6-ac02-020e51323910.jpg?v=1786984605","url":"https:\/\/noiseroom.lt\/products\/bullfrog-drums","provider":"Noise Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
