Erica Synths Black EG 2 & Black DADSR EG

video upload by Erica Synths

"The Black DADSR EG and the Black EG 2 are new, full analogue envelope generators each with distinct features that significantly expand modulation palette of the modular synth. The DADSR (Delay-Attack-Decay-Sustain-Release) has voltage control over each stage of the envelope and independent Gate Delay section adds extra functionality to design advanced modulation patterns. The Black EG 2 has optional GATE LENGTH setting, which allows to generate full ADSR envelopes even, if a short trigger is used at the input and in the LOOP mode the module outputs full ADSR envelope instead of AD envelope.

*HASDR EG2 module in the video has a prototype panel and equals DADSR EG

Patches:

00:02 - Patch 1 / Sending trigger to Black EG 2 and adjusting the gate length manually, therefore creating full ADSR envelope. EF is controlling the cutoff of the Multimode VCF which is fed with noise.

00:55 - Patch 2 / Playing notes and sending gates with keyboard, HADSR EG is set into loop mode therefore after the gate is released it starts to loop. Also release is controlled with the pitch cv therefore creating different looping envelope length for each note. HADSR is controlling the Multimode VCF cutoff.

01:36 - Patch 3 / EG 2 in loop mode. Creating full ADSR loop thanks to the built in gate generator, on the second part controlling the gate length with CV. EG is controlling the VCF which is fed with noise cutoff.

02:35 - Patch 4 / EG 2 is modulating the LPG which is filtering Wavetable VCO. EG 2 is triggered with steady clock and modulated with S&H from the Octasource.

03:21 - Patch 5 / Creating percussive sounds with DADSR EG modulating the FM of the VCO 2, and changing the gate delay to add some variety.

04:29 - Patch 6 / EG 2 is controlling Wavetable VCO pitch and DADSR is modulating the WAVE CV, HADSR release is also modulated with LFO therefore changing the envelope length.

05:10 - Patch 7 / By patching the bi-polar out into the release CV you can create logarithmic evevelope form the linear one in the looping mode.

05:50 - Patch 8 / Wavetable VCO wave cv controlled with HADSR which all cv inputs are modulated by the Octasource.

All FX (reverb/delay) in the demo are from Black Hole DSP 2 and upcoming FX module!"

Update: pics and details via Erica Synths:

The Erica Synths Black DADSR (Delay-Attack-Decay-Sustain-Release) is a fully analogue envelope generator that gives you extended control over events in your modular synth. It’s a looping exponential envelope generator that has voltage control over each stage of the envelope. An independent Gate Delay section adds extra functionality to design advanced soundscapes, like delayed modulation effects, wave morphing, etc.

Features
Re-triggerable exponential DADSR envelope generator
CV control over each stage
Gate delay with a manually controlled delay time
CV attenuators
Looping function
Manual gate button

The Erica Synths Envelope Generator 2 is a re-triggerable, looping envelope generator with some unconventional features that are very useful for experimental setups. What sets the Black EG2 apart from other envelope generators is its optional GATE LENGTH setting, which allows for generating full ADSR envelopes even if a short trigger is used at the input. Likewise, in LOOP mode, the module outputs a full ADSR envelope instead of a classical AD envelope. The gate length is both manual and CV controlled, which allows for using this envelope generator in compact modular setups controlled by trigger sequencers only.

Features
Full exponential ADSR envelope
Retriggering option
Internal gate generator with adjustable gate length
Manual and voltage-controlled gate length
Full ADSR looping mode
