Metamyther Unleashes Bohm Kick Drum HPN Mode: A Wild Patch Rodeo

Let’s be honest, most kick drums are about as exciting as a flat beer at a footy match. But Metamyther’s here to prove the Bohm Kick Drum’s HPN mode is a whole different animal. Forget the usual thump—this mode opens a portal to wild sound design territory, taking full advantage of the Groove Expander and its army of preset rhythms and pitches.

Instead of sticking to traditional kick duties, HPN mode lets you spin up sounds that would feel at home on a rave in the outback. It’s unconventional, a bit cheeky, and loaded with potential for breaking free from boring beats. If you reckon kicks should just sit in the background, this patch is about to give you a proper wake-up call.

Right from the demo, you’ll cop an earful of glitchy rhythms and unique textures—this isn’t just about driving the dancefloor, but about filling the air with sonic debris that would make an ambient producer drool. Metamyther sends the Groove into the Cosmic Debris, splitting channels so the kick stays punchy while the textures go swirling into the ether.

Genres like techno and IDM love a bit of weirdness, and the HPN mode delivers in spades. You get rhythms that can stutter and morph, plus resonant tones that’ll have your mates asking what you’ve been feeding your modular. It’s a playground for anyone who likes their percussion a bit on the feral side.

If you love getting lost in the weeds, HPN mode’s got you covered with hundreds of preset rhythms and pitch patterns, all ready to be warped, twisted, and conformed to scales like the Pellogg-Cellisier. Metamyther encourages punters to roll the dice on these presets—spin the Sequence Seed and see what comes out. There’s more variety here than in a Melbourne laneway coffee crawl.
