Erica Synths Announces Three Eurorack Modules, Plus Graphic VCO Firmware Update

Erica Synths has introduced three new Eurorack modules, available immediately.

The new modules include two Pico units — an LFO/Sample-and-Hold module and a Mixer — as well as a new power supply unit (PSU) input module. Additionally, the company announced a firmware update to its Graphic VCO, which adds significant new features requested by customers and also includes minor bug fixes.

Pico LFO/S&H: The Pico LFO/S&H module is full analogue modulations source — including both LFO and Sample-and-Hold. It provides a new dimension of controlled randomness to your modular setup, in a small package.

Features of the Pico LFO/S&H include:

  • Full analogue circuit
  • LFO with triangle and square wave outputs
  • Highly stable S&H circuit based on AS1100CK2 IC
  • Input and output protection against over-voltage
  • Protection against reverse PSU connection

Pico Mixer: Meantime, Pico Mixer is a simple, 3-channel DC-coupled mixer intended to mix audio signals and CV signals in order to obtain more complex modulations. The unit may also serve as a control voltage (VC) and audio attenuator.

The Pico Mixer Features:

  • 3 inputs
  • Diode protection against over-voltage

PSU Input Module: If you would like to use rack ears to mount an Erica Synths 84HP enclosure in a studio rack, you may want to access the PSU connection from the front of the case rather than the top side. The 4HP PSU (power supply unit) connection module is a solution for this.

Pricing and Availability

Recommended retail pricing for the new Pico modules and the PSU Input Module are as follows: Pico LFO S&H – 80€ (VAT excl.); Pico Mixer – 50€ (VAT excl.); and PSU Input Module – €15 (VAT excl.). The new modules are available now, via dealers worldwide, and through the Erica Synths website.

Additional information, including technical specifications, also available via Erica Synths.LV.
