Erica Synths Pico System III Semi-Modular Analog Synth With Preset Cards

Published on Nov 4, 2019 Perfect Circuit

"Erica's Pico System III is a full West Coast synth in a tiny format. Available in both desktop and Eurorack formats, the Pico System III uses a workflow inspired by the Buchla Music Easel—but adds a distinct, edgy character that takes it into entirely new territory.

With deep FM, two lowpass gates, looping envelopes, and loads of modulation options, the Pico System III is easily capable of generative soundscapes, but the addition of PWM, resonant filters, and an extra LFO make it easy to create even more conventional synth sounds with astonishing depth.

Like the Music Easel, the Pico System III can use preset cards to store patch "presets"—in this case, allowing you to save entire patch routings on physical program cards. The system comes with several preset cards and DIY cards so that you can create your own presets."

NEW Erica Synths PICO System III // Modular Day Barcelona #6

Published on Sep 11, 2019 DivKidVideo

"At Modular Day Barcelona #06 I was pleasantly surprised to see a brand new PICO system from Erica Synths. This is the PICO System III (3) and is a new modular system that comes as a Eurorack module or fully enclosed instrument with built in power supply.

This system is largely reduced in cost by producing the full system on a single PCB and using a single enclosure while retaining the system circuits and quality we're used to from the PICO modules from Erica Synths. It also has a novel patch storage system based on PCB patch cards. This routes all the normalised connection points onto a card sized circuit board allowing you to use wire to solder up your own DIY synth voices and saved patches or you can use one of the 5 included cards for some patch ideas too. This is of course still entirely and fully patchable with normal cables, and it comes with 25 stacking cables too.

A nice trick Girts explains in the video is to turn all the knobs up fully on the device fully and use resistors rather than wire to also store preset resistance on the cards to save knob positions as well as connections.

I was told this will be releasing around the 20th of September with lots of audio examples directly from Erica Synths so expect a release and more before the end of the month."

12 new modules + KODEK BOOTH RAVE!!! Erica Synths // Superbooth 2019

Published on May 21, 2019 DivKidVideo

"After launching a whole techno system last year I didn't expect Erica Synths to drop 12 new Eurorack modules at Superbooth this year. Lots of new PICO modules (analogue BBD delay, DSP drum voice, noise, new VCO + more) updated fusion series modules, new sequencer, cowbell for the techno/drum series, new input and two new FX modules ... it's a mouthful, or a finger-ful to type out! After a walk through of the modules with Girts, KODEK gave us a great booth rave techno jam on the new modules. Distorted breaks at the ready!"

Polyend Seq & Poly Midi And Eurorack Sequencer System

Published on Apr 17, 2019 Perfect Circuit

"Polyend's Seq is an 8 track 32 step sequencer where you can see all of the steps at once for quick editing. When connected to the Poly module you can convert the Seq's 8 channels of midi into CV controls for your eurorack modular synthesizer. Each track of the sequencer has independent clock division and direction controls. There are other options like rolls and micro timing as well.

The drums in this video come from the Endorphin.es Blck_Noir with some synthesis voices from the Noise Engineering Manis Iteritas and Erica Synths Pico Voice. Everything is mixed together with Warm Star's Fragment utility module."

The Bateleur VCO /Nerdseq- XOR /Primary Oscillator /PICO DRUMS ,Black Hole DSP -Erica Synths

Published on Feb 3, 2019 Dziam Bass

"Hey Guys !!
Finally some music. This time I used Nerdseq for the bass line that comes from The Bateleur VCO from birdkids
also cowbel and snare are samples from Nerdseq used from an SD card.
The synth melody is also from Nerdseq but I recorded it through midi to Nerdseq and plays the Primary Oscillator module from Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers with added Black Hole DSP- Erica Synths reverb. Kick and hat comes from PICO DRUMS -Erica Synths later after 2:30 I also added one voice similar to Horns this is from PICO VOICE - Erica Synths plus Pico DSP reverb.
It's nicely subtle combined in the mixer tube Fusion Mixer plus Black Stereo Mixer - both from Erica Synths.
It was a nice evening and I recorded this live when the whole sound comes only from my modular system"

Eurorack Techno with Erica Synths, Birdkids, OlllAudio ,ReBach, XOR Electronics

Published on Jan 5, 2019 Dziam Bass

"Hi Guys.
I have a small Techno movie using different modules, I've used Pico Drums for drums with Pico Trigg , and some others from Erica Synths - Black Series or Pico DSP for modulated delay effect on hat and clap, I do not have the latest awesome Techno System but I think that these modules also create great Techno tracks, I used it The Bateleur VCO-birdkids , ARP 4075-@OlllAudio OlllAudio Eurorack Modules filter, ReBach VCO GR11 ,A-ADSR, Multiple SMP or Nerdseq-XOR Electronics.
So on this I created this techno track .🤘🙃"

Travel case 2x104 HP -Erica Synths with Pico System II and Black series modules

Published on Dec 25, 2018 Dziam Bass

"Hi All.
what's up Guys.??!!!
do you have great new tools as a gift?
I have already uploaded my new travel case 2x104 HP -Erica Synths and I have already played a little.
I moved some modules from Pico System II and added some of the Black series -Erica Synths, here a little bit of fun with the Black Modulator, but the last months were great with this 40% off and I basically have almost all Black series here.(but a few are missing 😂)🤘🤘😀Drums-Pico Drums
now that I've put it together, I've got better visions in one case. Are you spending time with new modules or synths anymore?

Published on Dec 19, 2018 Erica Synths

"Drum Modulator is an advanced modulation and pitched noise source with focus on rhythmic (but not limited to) compositions in mind. It features two identical syncable to the BPM LFOs/noise sources with morphing waveshapes.

In this video we explore 12 different patches with Modulator together with various modules from the Techno system.

0:18 - #1 GABBERLINE (Modulator + Bassline) LFO1 is modulating FM and accent, LFO2 is in noise mode modulating cutoff.

2:19 - #2 CYMBALLER (Modulator + Cymbals) LFO1 is synced to the same BPM as Cymbals trigger source and is modulating tune. LFO2 is free running and modulating decay of Cymbals.

4:12 - #3 ANOTHER SUPER COMPUTER (Modulator + Bassline) Both LFOs in S&H mode modulating cutoff, accent and FM in of Bassline.

4:59 - #4 TECHNOID (Modulator + Bassline) LFO1 is modulating FM and accent, LFO2 is modulating cutoff.

5:24 - #5 STEAMER (Modulator + Bassline) LFO1 is in noise mode modulating FM and cutoff, LFO2 is modulating accent and gate.

5:43 - #6 FROGGER (Modulator + Bassline) Both LFOs modulating cutoff, accent, 1v/oct and FM.

5:59 - #7 SNARECANDANCE (Modulator + Snare) LFO1 is synced to the BPM of Snare trigger and is modulating tune, LFO2 is synced to LFO1 tempo and modulating decay.

7:09 - #8 BALLOON FIGHT (Modulator + Bassline) LFO1 is modulating FM and accent, LFO2 is modulating cutoff and gate.

7:54 - #9 CYMBA (Modulator + Cymbals) Both LFOs are synced to Cymbals trigger BPM and modulating tune and decay. LFO2 is also modulating rate of LFO1.

8:40 - #10 HI-HATTER (Modulator + Hi-Hats D + Dual FX) LFO1 is modulating dry/wet of FX1 & FX2, LFO2 is modulating decay and tune of Hi-Hats.

9:54 - #11 S&H EVERYTHING (Modulator + Pico Drums + Dual FX) Both LFOs in S&H mode triggering and selecting sample on Pico Drums, modulating delay time of FX1 and dry/wet of FX2.

11:08 - #12 BAZZDRUM (Modulator + Bassdrum) LFO1 is modulating gain and drive of the first Dual Drive stage, LFO2 is modulating gain and drive of second Dual Drive stage."

Erica Synths Modulator is an advanced modulation and pitched noise source with focus on rhythmic (but not limited to) compositions in mind. It features two identical syncable to the BPM LFOs/noise sources with selectable morphing waveshapes. LFO frequency can be manually adjustable, as well as they provide frequency divisions and multiplication in Sync mode. Each LFO has two outputs- main one and secondary one with adjustable phase, so you can create evolving modulations. Furthermore, LFOs can be linked to work at the same frequency and the first LFO has built in VCA to control output signal amplitude.


Features
Two independent modulation/pitched noise sources
7morphing waveshape + noise
LFO Sync, frequency divisions and multiplications
Integrated VCA for first modulation source
Two main outputs
Two outputs with an adjustable phase shift
LP and HP filter on outputs in pitched noise mode
CV control over LF rate/noise pitch
