The Percussion category here includes all of the electronic instruments and modules designed to create rhythmic and percussive drum beats & sounds rather than melodic or harmonic tones. This includes drum machines, percussion synth voices, sample-based units, trigger pads, and modular percussion modules used to build beats, grooves, and rhythmic textures.
Percussion gear is central to electronic and modern music production, providing everything from classic drum sounds to experimental rhythms and textures. These instruments are commonly used in studio and live setups alongside synths, samplers, and sequencers, forming the rhythmic backbone of electronic, techno, hip-hop, ambient, and experimental music.

Digital is sound generation and processing based on digital signal processing rather than analogue circuitry. It is used for precise control, stable tuning, patch memory, and complex sound design that would be difficult to achieve with purely analogue systems. For example, a digital instrument might be used to create detailed evolving textures or realistic emulations while storing and recalling complete sound setups instantly.
Eurorack is a modular synthesis format with standardised dimensions, power connections, and signal levels. Eurorack systems are built from individual modules mounted in cases, allowing users to create highly customisable instruments tailored to specific sound design and performance needs.
A module is a self-contained unit designed to perform a specific function within a larger system. Modules are commonly used in modular and Eurorack setups, where each unit handles tasks such as sound generation, modulation, filtering, or control, allowing systems to be built and expanded piece by piece.
New Gear is unused and in original condition, supplied as it leaves the manufacturer. It is chosen for guaranteed reliability, full functionality, and the assurance of manufacturer support. For example, buying new ensures access to the latest design revisions, included accessories, and official warranty coverage.
A voice is a single complete sound path within an instrument, typically made up of an oscillator, filter, amplifier, and modulation. It determines how many notes can be played at once and how each note is shaped. For example, an instrument with multiple voices can play chords and layered parts, while each voice handles the sound of one note independently.
