I looked at the Synth manual and I do not see PERC mentioned anywhere. Will it ever come to Synth? ![image](https://backstage.polyend.com/uploads/default/original/2X/8/8bbf71bad4a5703d60dff01aefc1cd967b853830.jpeg) ---

This is a synth and not a drum machine, yes? ---

PERC is a single voice synth though. Here it is from the Tracker+ manual: ![image](https://backstage.polyend.com/uploads/default/original/2X/a/aeee5e9c4b668a5623bbf8ed88bbb0e12f0e80ad.jpeg) ---

Tracker Plus also came with a sticker saying “PHZ” ---

Yes, but that’s not what this topic is about 😛 , I meant PERC is listed under the synth category and loaded into a synth slot and it uses a single voice. Therefore, I am confused why PERC was not included in Synth. ---

it just isn’t 🙂 might be cause Synth™️ isn’t so focused on sequencing. it only has a basic 101 style sequencer ---

Yeah, but you could play the drums live on the pads. Or abuse the sequencer/arp to do crazy experimental drums. Or externally sequence. ![image](https://backstage.polyend.com/uploads/default/original/2X/0/0d1ff0a0c33403aaf1af100a9f3ac104df315237.png) ---

But at this stage you can’t allocate more than one Patch on a Synth slot so Seq/Arp on a single One would just sound Pitching the sound and not have a set of different sounds like Kick + Snare + Hihat ect… ( ? ) ---

The PERC uses the note range for the instruments. So theoretically the Arp and Seq would play based on what note you played. The complexity I imagine is how to edit the engine. That would be many pages for each percussive sound. I think it would be more pages than the average synth. I would like to see it happen though! Hopefully in a future firmware update.
