Black Octasource and Black Wavetable VCO Erica Synths Black series VCV Rack

Black Wavetable VCO & Black Octasource are now available for VCV Rack. Shortly after releasing VCV Rack 1.0 the hardware module boutique manufacturer Erica Synths the virtual versions of the Black Wavetable VCO and Black Octasource on the VCV Rack platform.

The Hardware Unit Black Octasource (Erica Synths Black series) features one of 8 waveforms available on 8 outputs phase shifted by 45 degrees OR all 8 waveforms simultaneously on all outputs. Furthermore, waveform selection, phase shift, and LFO rate are CV controlled, and the rate can be synched to an external clock signal.

Erica 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, we did not economize on the module width, we put design and usability first. Big knobs are assigned to functions that make a difference in sound. Together the Erica Black series are a range of modules that make an entire synthesizer.

  • LFO with manually and CV controlled rate
  • Manual selection of phase shift direction
  • 8 simultaneous outputs
  • Synchronization to an external clock
  • LFO freeze function
  • 8 waves with morphing between them
  • Phase shift, wave select and FM CV
  • Bipolar output signal level LEDs

Black Wavetable VCO (Erica Synths Black series / VCV Rack)

Erica Synths Hardware Unit Black Wavetable VCO is a compact, fat sounding wavetable VCO that features 16+ banks of selected waves: classical synths, FM synths, Erica modular, vowels, and others.

  • 16 wavetables of 16 waves
  • Additional ROM chips with extra waves
  • VC wave surf
  • VC bank surf
  • Manual and VC bitcrush
  • Built-in VCA
  • Wave morphing
  • Sub-oscillator output
  • 3 sub-oscillator waves (-1 and -2 octaves)

The VCO has separate -1 and -2 octaves suboscillator output, built in VCA and wave morphing feature for a more pleasant sound. Additional ROM chips (sold separately) with extra wavetables are available to adapt the module to your style of making music.

Get more out of ring modulation & crossfading

Today we go in-depth with the brand new Erica Synths Black Ring-Fade, a eurorack module with two ring modulators, a build-in crossfader, and VCA. Both the ring modulators as well as the crossfader can be used as independent modules, but the internal routing makes it very suitable for advanced creative sound shaping.

In the video we start with an overview of the Black Ring-Fade, and then we dive into a series of patches in three sections. We look at ring modulation patches, crossfader patches, and finally a few patches utilizing all sections of the Ring-Fade.

BLACK DUAL ASR EG

The Black Dual ASR EG is a versatile, full analog looping AD/ASR envelope generator with voltage control over attack and release times, that can also be used as a low-frequency oscillator with a manually and voltage-controlled shape and rate. It has two identical parts, each featuring all typical envelope generator controls and bonus features – the end of the cycle output and bi-polar LFO output. When in loop mode the shortest attack and decay settings turn the module into a voltage-controlled drone oscillator with adjustable waveform (it will not track 1V/oct, though).

  • Dual voltage controlled envelope generator and LFO
  • Manual and voltage control over Attack and Decay/Release
  • Adjustable LFO shape
  • Manual gate button
  • Loop/Free running switch
  • End of the cycle output
  • Bipolar LFO output
  • A jumper for the EG/LFO time configuration

Erica Black Series include high-end, unique functionality and superior quality modules. Big knobs are assigned to functions that make difference in sound. Erica Black series consists of a range of modules that are needed to put together the entire synth.

Starter Kits – Episode 04

After three episodes of Plaits, it’s time to go analog with the ‘Westcoast inspired Erica Synths Pico System III, Qu-Bit Bloom sequencer, and the insane Desmodus Versio reverb. The workflow is completely different and you’ll have to make your sounds from scratch. It sounds completely different too! Technically, it’s three modules, but Pico System III has 13 ‘pico’ modules stacked away under one faceplate. So it’s definitely a mini-modular with huge potential, but you have to discover it yourself!
