ERICA SYNTHS TECHNO SYSTEM
Thank you for ordering Erica Synths Techno System!
It is the ultimate tool for techno/industrial/dnb production and live perfor-
mances. With bit of imagination you’ll find that it’s not limited to specific
music genres — it just depends on your creativity in patching, settings of
modules, what samples are used in Sample Drum and how they are trig-
gered. The potential is unlimited!
Erica Synths Techno System contains following modules:
Sample Drum – is the sample player that reads samples from a SD card and allows you to slice
up loops directly in your modular system and rearrange them to taste, add FXes and save
presets for live performances. Thanks to the module’s dual-channel concept, two loops can be
combined. A total of six CV inputs guarantees lively results
Bassline – full analogue synth voice module for ultimate basslines and leads. It features
AS3340 VCO with three waveforms, a filter inspired by Erica Synths Acidbox and unique
features – transistor-based suboscillator and two BBDs that emulate VCO detune.
Bass Drum – takes classical drum machine kick drum sounds to the next level with a modular
functionality - more parameters and CV control.
Snare Drum – 909 inspired sound with with modular functionality in mind – CV controls and
Accents will add lot of expression to your performance
Toms - the module contains Low Tom, Mid Tom and High Tom, each with individual Pitch and
Decay controls and outputs plus CV control over pitch.
Clap - brings classical drum machine sounds in eurorack. Accent and CV control over tune
adds more versatility in sound.
Hi-Hats D – classical Hi-Hats samples are passed thru AS3330 based VCA with adjustable
shape and controlled via envelope generators of unique design. Extra feature is Open HiHat
looping – when it’s on, a certain part of the sample is looped while the envelope decay is on,
thus creating distinct, delay-like effect.
Cymbals – distinct topology digital/analogue module, where cymbal samples are passed thru
AS3330 based VCA and controlled via envelope generators of unique design. The module features
10 sets of custom Crash and Ride cymbal samples with Tune control and individual Decay control.
Modulator features two identical syncable to the BPM LFOs/noise sources with selectable
morphing waveshapes. LFO frequency can be manually adjusted or CV controled, as well as they
provide frequency divisions and multiplications in Sync mode. Each LFO has two outputs —
main one and secondary one with adjustable phase, so you can create evolving modulations
Drum Sequencer is an ultimate modular drum sequencer with 16x trigger outputs, 12x Accent
outputs, 1x CV and Gate track and 2x Synced or free running LFO outputs.
Mixer Lite is a compact 6 input version of a Drum Mixer. Built in vactrol based compressor
settings can be adjusted to a taste via trimpots through the front panel.
Dual Drive features two independent distortion circuits with gain and overdrive parameters,
each with three overdrive flavours. Thanks to CV inputs, it is possible to create very lively
distortion and great stereo effects.
Dual FX combines two Spin FV-1 chips in one module, each filled with eight custom effect
programs with two adjustable and CV controlled parameters per effect and analogue dry/wet
circuit. The effects repertoire of the Dual FX has been specially tailored to drum sounds and all
parameter settings can be saved with the effect.
Drum Mixer – compact, 7 input mixer of unique design provides greater dynamic range and
built in vactrol based compressor for high clarity of each drum sound in the mix. The first three
inputs have selectable allocation - to the Main output or Main Aux Send
Stereo Mixer comes equipped with four channel strips, each containing two inputs (L / R).
Thanks to some clever routing options, mono signals can be placed nicely in the panorama as
well. All four stereo channel strips feature a level potentiometer and a limiter provides
protection against very hot signals.
LINK is the module that bridges eurorack to stage mixers — it has 5 sections that attenuate
eurorack signals to line level signals and send them to 6,3mm jacks for quality connection to
the performance mixer.
