HCX is a classic hi-hat synthesizer that delivers authentic analog synthesis tailored for hi-hat sounds. It features three distinct hi-hat types: Closed, Pedal, and Open, each crafted to provide a dynamic range suitable for various musical styles. The instrument uses six pulse wave oscillators and offers two oscillator types, allowing users to shape the core sound with precision.

This synthesizer provides comprehensive tone and decay controls for each hi-hat type, enabling detailed sound sculpting. Users can adjust the general pitch, balance levels between the hi-hat components, and choose from two envelope types for the Open hi-hat, giving further control over the articulation and expression of the sound. These features make it ideal for producing realistic and punchy hi-hat patterns.

HCX supports MIDI CC and automation, making it easy to integrate into modern production workflows. This allows producers to manipulate parameters in real-time and create dynamic, evolving hi-hat sequences. With its focused design and hands-on controls, HCX offers a powerful tool for electronic music producers seeking classic hi-hat synthesis with analog character.
