Erica Synths Black VCO v2 Eurorack Voltage Controlled Oscillator Module
Erica Synths Black VCO v2
The Erica Synths Black VCO v2 is an analogue VCO with four simultaneous waveform outputs and one octave down suboscillator.
Features
• Simultaneous sine, triangle, saw and pulse wave outputs.
• -1 octave suboscillator.
• Manually adjustable and CV controlled pulse width.
• Great tracking across 8 octaves.
• Exponential FM input with attenuator,
• Synchronization input.
• Octave switch - 5 octaves.
• Skiff friendly design.
The core of the VCO is borrowed from a famous Russian synth Polivoks VCO and in the exponential converter they used the original matched transistor IC that was used in the Polivoks. Unlike harsh logic divider based suboscillators, the Black VCO transistor-based suboscillator generates a distinct, rounded squarewave. Together with the Black VCO Expander, a waveform mixer, you get a massive analogue sound source with plenty of patch points for modular use.
The Erica Synths Black Series are high-end modules with unique functionality. Only the highest quality components are used and all inputs and outputs are protected against undesired overvoltage. When designing the Black Series, they did not economise on the module width, they put design and usability first. Big knobs are assigned to functions that make a difference in the sound. Together the Erica Synths Black Series are a range of modules that make an entire synthesizer
