A high quality audio mixer The Erica Synths Black Mute Mixer is a high quality audio mixer from Erica Synth's Black Series modular Eurorack synthesizers with three inputs and, as a special feature, mute switches on each input signal and three buffered outputs. The mute buttons allow audio signals to be added immediately and at exactly the right level. The three outputs can simultaneously send audio signals to various other modules, such as VCFs. This allows you to create an infinite number of sounds.

A complex, all analogue modulation source with lots of distinct features   Fusion Modulator is complex, all analogue modulation source with lots of distinct features. It consists of several blocks – two EMS Synthi functionality inspired looping envelope generators with simultaneous unipolar (0V - 10V) and bipolar (-5V - +5V), VCA, Noise generator and Sample & Hold. This makes Fusion Modulator a versatile modulation source for advanced modular setups, especially drone music oriented ones. Set lopping envelope generators to high frequencies and have two sub bass sound sources, use VCA to control the amplitude of the envelope signal, modulate the decay time by random voltages from S&H circuit and get ever evolving sonic awesomeness!

A high quality dual envelope generator and low frequency oscillator The Erica Synths Black Dual EG/LFO is a dual envelope generator and low frequency oscillator. Both EGs can be used successively or simultaneously as AD/ASR envelope generators. The shape of the LFO envelopes can be adjusted directly. Thanks to its compact design, it saves a lot of space in the modular system. As part of the Black series, the module is designed for the Eurorack modular system.

The VC EG Expander taken to the next level Erica Black VC EG Expander takes the VC EG to the next level – it outputs gates or CVs for each active stage of the envelope, so you can design really advanced patches. Also, inverted and bipolar envelope outputs are available.

A basic analogue oscillator   With the Pico VCO2, Erica Synths extends its slim range with a basic analogue oscillator with rectangular and triangular output. The oscillator offers stable tracking over eight octaves, an octave switch for coarse tuning, and a CV input for pulse-width modulation.

An Analogue Module for bass and ultimate leads This Bassline from Erica Synths' Drum series is a monophonic synth voice module in Eurorack format with a very charismatic sound. The voice is fully analog and is based on a three-waveform oscillator and a transistor sub-oscillator. Two additional BBD lines (delay line circuits) in the oscillator range enrich the basic sound with emulated VCO tuning and sounds one would expect from a polysynthesis. For spectrum processing there is a switchable low-pass/bandpass filter, which is oriented towards the sound of the Polivoks and is likewise included in the Erica Synths Acidbox.

The first module from Erica Synths. Sequential Switch is the first module that Erica Synths built. With Sequential Switch, up to eight sound sources can be advanced, or one sound source can be routed to eight sound modifiers - VCFs, Waveshaper, VCAs, etc. - and one sound source can be routed to eight sound modifiers - VCFs, Waveshaper, VCAs, etc. - and one sound source can be routed to eight sound modifiers - VCFs, Waveshaper, VCAs, etc. - and one sound source can be routed to eight sound modifiers - VCFs, Waveshaper, VCAs, etc. - and one sound source can be routed to eight sound modifiers - VCFs, Waveshaper, VCAs, etc. - and one sound source can be routed to eight sound modifiers - VCFs, Waveshaper, VCAs, etc. - and one sound source can be routed to eight sound modifiers - VCAs, VCAs, VCAs, etc. The step buttons on the module's control panel provide perfect control over pausing, skipping, and merging steps, and over the length of the sequence. Special features that distinguish the module from other sequential switches are the different playback modes and the grid output - in combination with an envelope and VCA's (or filter), powerful sequences can be generated with real-time control over any sound source. Use Sequential Switch with a random clock source at the heart of self-generating random patches.

A Distortion Module developed with Gamechanger Audio   The Erica Synths Plasma Drive is a distortion module that uses high voltage conversion to process the signal. The module was developed in collaboration with Gamechanger Audio and converts the audio signal to 3000 Volt using, among other things, a xenon-filled tube. These high-voltage DC discharges in combination with the two tracking oscillators (+1 oct up / -2 oct down) are what ultimately remains a highly distorted audio signal. The results can be described as extreme and fanciful. The voltage strength and the mixing ratio can be influenced by CV, the oscillators can be switched on manually or by Gate. An equalizer adjusts the sound with bass and treble accordingly. The sound and functionality of this distortion is so far unique on the market!  

A classic design ring modulator with germanium diode ring plus a vacuum tube to boost and shape audio and carrier signals.

Special feature, not found in eurorack, is Vintage Stereo Ensemble – effect that’s common on vintage synthesizers to create moving and thick spatial sound from a monaural tone generator, be it FM, DCO or any other kind. Such a spatial effect is achieved by mixing dry source with delayed and lowpass filtered out of phase signal.

A voltage-controlled filter emulating the authentic and famous Polivok sound   The Erica Synths Black Polivoks VCF is a voltage-controlled filter emulating the authentic and famous Polivok sound enhanced with cutoff control. Some updates have been made to meet the requirements of a modern modular synthesizer. The module features independent buffer inputs, cutoff controls and more clicks when changing filter modes. Like the other modules in the Black series, this module is designed for the Eurorack format.

A versatile modular synth LFO 
 Erica Synths Black Octasource is an LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) for Eurorack modular synthesizers. OCTASOURCE offers eight different waveforms, all of which can be picked up simultaneously via the eight outputs, or one waveform with a 45° offset per patch point can be picked up.
 The Black Octasource offers a choice of two modes: In Multi mode, all eight different waveforms can be captured simultaneously via the eight outputs. In the Single mode, one waveform can be shaken on all eight patch points with an offset of 45° each. It is also possible to select both modes simultaneously: Waveform switching can be CV-controlled, allowing continuous switching between the different modes. In addition, the phase shift and the LFO speed can be controlled by CV.

A dual multimode filter with complex sounds   The Erica Synths Black VCF is a dual multimode filter offering CV control over filter cutoff and resonance. The module can be used as two independent VCFs with simultaneous highpass, lowpass and bandpass outputs. Send 2 different sound sources to each filter to create a more interesting and complex range of sounds and modulations. The filter of the module self-oscillates, generating a clean and pleasant sound that can be used as a sound source. The CV knobs in the middle can be used for cutoff modulation. The Black VCF module also features a 16-band spectrum analyzer that provides visual feedback of the summation output.

The Evolver, Dave Smith Instruments' first product, is a monophonic hybrid synth that marks Dave Smith's return to the world of hardware synthesizers. Featuring two analog DCOs and two wavetable oscillators, the Evolver also harnesses the power of the analog Curtis filter and its complex modulation matrix of 24 sources and over 75 destinations. The Evolver also features three synchronizable delays, a 4-track 16-step sequencer, 512 editable patches, poly in/out/transfer/chain, and stereo inputs and outputs.The Evolver Mono Keyboard from Dave Smith Instruments adds a 3-octave keyboard and pitch and modulation wheels to the Evolver Hybrid Mono module. The Evolver Mono Keyboard allows for easier performance thanks to the velocity and aftertouch sensitive keyboard, as well as more knobs that expose parameters previously only accessible via the Evolver's menus.The Evolver marked Dave's Smith's triumphant return to hardware synths and is still the gold standard for sonic ferocity in a monosynth. It contains a plethora of Dave's best ideas in a monstrously powerful instrument with a unique sound.The Evolver's unique tone comes from the synergy of its two analog oscillators and two digital oscillators (which take the waves from the legendary Prophet VS). Curtis' classic analog low-pass filters and true analog VCAs add warmth and fullness to the analog section, while the digital high-pass filter, tuned feedback, and digital distortion add sizzle and grit. But what really sets the Evolver apart is the way the analog and digital parts of its personality fit together in a true stereo signal path. The word "massive" doesn't begin to describe the Evolver's sound.Imagine being able to move effortlessly from analog smoothness to digital sharpness, or anywhere in between, and you'll begin to understand. The LFOs, step sequencer, and three separate delays can all be synchronized to create complex, scalable, rhythmic, and time-based effects in true stereo.It's a sound designer's dream that can go from ultra-creamy to ultra-aggressive with the turn of a knob. If you need to be convinced, just listen to the demos.

The new Dark Energy II looks like the Dark Energy I at first sight. But the basic sound of the Dark Energy II is clearly different from the version I because of the new circuits for the VCO, the VCF and the VCA. In the following description of the Dark Energy II, the differences with the Dark Energy I are marked in blue:The Dark Energy II is a stand-alone monophonic synthesizer with USB and Midi interface. The sound generation and all the modulation sources are 100% analog, only the USB/Midi interface contains digital components. The Dark Energy is built in a robust black metal case with wooden side plates. High quality potentiometers with metal shafts are used and every potentiometer - except the filter mode control - is fixed to the case (no wobbly shafts and knobs). The distance between the controls is a bit larger compared to the A-100 modules and vintage looking knobs are used.

The beating heart of your modular system.   The Black VC Clock is the heart of your modular system.
