67 stereo custom units for the ER-301, made by mudlogger

Units

Hyperscale301 is a large, ever-growing collection of stereo custom units for the ER-301 by mudlogger — mostly self-generating/semi-random drum, percussion, granular and synth voices with deliberately minimal controls (usually a handful of CV-able sliders). You steer the ship rather than program it note-by-note. As of v1.6 the pack contains 67 individual .pkg units.

More demos: FuTrYFDV6Zs, Zbcc6PW59So, EXbhVVzUnag (Static + Loss unit).

Requirements

  • Minimum ER-301 firmware v0.6.15 (odevices/er-301 releases) — v0.6.14 and earlier cannot load the samples bundled in these packages.
  • Set the ER-301 to 48kHz / 128 samples per block in system settings.
  • These are stereo units: link channel 1 + channel 2 before loading one (hold the Ch 1 button while pressing Ch 2 — the "linked" LED lights up).
  • A number of units additionally depend on other hub packages: Accents, Band Limited Oscillators, Filter Delays, Lojik, Sloop and Strike. Install these first.

Downloads

Because a full release (all 67 .pkg files zipped together) is several hundred megabytes — far too large to host as static files on this hub — downloads are not listed below. Use the "Latest GitHub release" button at the top of this page (it links straight to the current hyperscale301.vX.X.zip asset on GitHub), or browse all releases directly, including the original er301 tag if you want an older/smaller starting point.

Installation

  1. Download the latest hyperscale301 release .zip.
  2. Unzip it — you'll get one .pkg file per unit.
  3. Copy the .pkg files you want to ER301/packages on the SD card.
  4. On the ER-301: flip the left switch to AdminPackage Manager.
  5. Highlight and install each .pkg individually.

Units

Most units are single-purpose generative voices with little to no public documentation beyond their name and the demo videos above — this hub will get more per-unit detail as it's written up. What's known from the release notes so far:

UnitNotes
bongo rom6-voice triggerable bongos with pitch randomizer.
endless bongoSame as bongo rom, plus an internal phase sequencer.
marimba rom6-voice triggerable marimbas with pitch randomizer.
endless marimbaMarimba rom with an internal phase sequencer.
chanceProbability sliders shape the drum pattern.
dorian2 self-generating, semi-random FM synths in the Dorian scale.
noise merchant2 Mangrove-style oscillators through a filter, in an FM feedback loop — harsh noise territory.
r+r252 pinged bandpass filters — "you steer the ship".
ultra violetWavetable oscillator through rbeny's Ultraviolet package.
edev4-voice glitch drum sample player: 4 euclidean sequencers, random clock, per-voice probability, spread delay.
edigi4-voice FM drum samples with 4 euclidean sequencers, optional clocked random clock, random sample, reverb.
emonoLike edev, mono-flavored drum voices with the same euclidean/clock/delay setup.
monolith4-voice stereo glitch drum sample player: 4 euclidean sequencers, random clock, per-voice probability, clocked delay.
fragmentsGranular stretch through a stereo delay and reverb, with 2 internal LFOs and randomization.
jitterSame granular-stretch/delay/reverb/LFO approach as fragments.
hyper301Grain-stretching unit (part of the pack's namesake "hyperscale" granular voices).
piano esqueRandom atonal piano samples through a looper.
pulsPulsar synthesis: sine + fast envelope, 36dB HP filter, stereo delay and reverb.
twistedScannable wavetable synth with internal LFO, low-pass gate, tanh gain, 12dB BP filter, delay and reverb.
gastonPulsar synthesis with a ping-pong clocked delay.

The remaining units (bend, bento box, big, bongo phase, bottles, coastal, dialled in, ezil / ezil rev 2, gran, gritch25, grove / grove rev 2, hamming, hyper scale, kalimba hell, krystal kastles, luthier, lutq, manq, mantis, mesh, metab, ninja, ota / rev 2 / rev 3 / rev 4, plaidium, pole, rescale, ria, ringing rocks, slaughter house, speak and hell, spook, sweet spot, temple + rain, temple tantrum, tight rope, tritone / tritone rev 2, tube, tunnel vision, unskool, velouria, vink) don't have a published description yet — check the demo videos linked above, or the release notes for the version they were added in.

Extra miscellaneous packages by other authors that pair with this pack are collected separately at er301-misc-units-by-others.
