Vermona PerFourmer MKII

I had an angled 19" rack custom made from this guy on Etsy.

Nice stuff. How did he get the drillings and measures right? Are there any CAD drawings of the original side panels somewhere?

That patch book is great!

I bought the rack ears from Vermona. Then just plop it in whatever 19” rack that you wish. 19” rack is an industry standard. His angled racks have a flat back so you can lay them down if you wish. Can message the builder. Really great guy and open to custom measurements.

Yeah, it’s really good, especially being free. I’m not sure where I came across it TBH, but I’d happily pay a few quid for something like that. The artist contributions are great - there’s not much around in terms of patch ref for the Perfourmer, especially with no presets or recall etc.

It’s not exactly bespoke but I got this guy for probably $25. Has room for other rack units or space underneath to slide an OT.

That was incredible. Can you tell us a little bit about how you used the Perfourmer here?

Well I had a chance to play around some more and the settings (legato on or not etc.) don’t change anything.

But I actually found a way to reproduce the behavior 100% of the time and I have linked a video if anyone is willing to try to replicate the behavior for me (I am using my hapax so you can see when the keys are pressed or not, but it also happens with a regular midi keyboard). If I perform the same key presses I always get the stuck notes. The exact notes themselves don’t matter, just the order I play and release them in. D2 mode, all voices on a single midi channel.

Thank you @blaize! :heart::pray:

Thank you @HotdogLothario! :heart::pray:

PERfourMER is in M1 mode. I sequence each Voice with the OT on 4 different MIDI Channels. FXs used are Source Audio Nemesis and Ventris (OT Cue Out), Retroverb Lancet on the Insert of one of the Voice and some OT FXs (Filter, Compressor).

Thanks for the details. It really inspires me to spend some time with that combo.

First real sit down with This wonderful synth.

my jam recording are rarely over 4 minutes, i always try and structure them more like songs. but this Perforumer oriented jam went past 7 minutes… its very easy to get lost in the Perfourmer.
Perfourmers jam partners were OP-1 Field, Monomachine, Octatrack and ZOIA EUBU sequenced by OP-Z audio going into TX-6.

As for the Perfourmer, it just sounds incredible. just turning down the filter and turning up Filter EG a tad makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. the EG is so snappy and nice, nothing gets me going like a snappy EG. linking the LFO´s is a lot of fun as well.

ive tried different sequencing techniques and the perforumer does not like to handle a lot of midi information. if im using multiple channels on the OP-Z to sequence the Perfourmer in P1 and P2 (each track on the same midi channel) it always causes a majority of the channels to stop responding to the incoming midi data. my guess is that the Perforumer gets overloaded and stops functioning.

As for Tuning, ive only tuned it once and have´nt had the need to tune it yet.

we´ll see how i feel about this lovely machine once the honey moon phase is over.

It gets easier.
I’m really bad at tuning by ear and this one is easy for me to tune.
