Sound sculpting with Erica Synths Black Low Pass VCF, High Pass VCF and Filter Coupler

video by Monotrail Tech Talk

"Today we’re having a look at a brand new filter series for eurorack form Erica Synths. The series adds a high pass filter, a low pass filter, and a filter coupler module to the Black module series. The high and low pass filters can be used as standalone filters. The filter coupler module functions as a satellite module, so you can have your audio processed by both filters to add band pass and band reject functions to the filters.

We go over the features of all three modules. Then we dive into some sound demos and patches. First the low pass and high pass, and then when you combine the filters in series, or with the coupler module.

FEATURES:
Bandpass and Band reject filters
Manually adjustable center frequency and bandwidth
Voltage control over center frequency and bandwidth
NB! The module is designed to work exclusively with both the Black High pass VCF and the Black Low Pass VCF.
