Synth modules

Notes: Erica Synths Snare Drum is developed in collaboration with the French company e-licktronick and it's our take on analogue snare drum circuits adapted for modular systems. Sharp, punchy sounds, Accent & CV control over key parameters of the module make it distinctively expressive in studio and live performances.

Features
Tune, Snappy, Noise tone and Decay controls
CV control with attenuators over Tune and Decay
Manual trigger
Accent for better expression

Specifications
Decay range: 150ms - 260ms
Audio output level: -5...+5V
CV level (full span): -5 - +5V
Accent CV level: 10V
Trigger level: 5V
Trigger time: 1ms
Power consumption: 37mA@+12V, 35mA@-12V
Module width: 10HP
Module depth: 35mm

On this run of modules the Pitch & Decay CV inputs are inverted: rising CV will decrease pitch, falling - increase.

Notes: Everything sounds better with compression - whether you need a bit of extra pressure for your drum sounds or just that extra touch to make your modular mix more nimble and tight, the Erica Synths Stereo Compressor will make your live performances a joy. The module is optimized for percussion sounds and will be a great addition to any Erica Synths Drum module rig. The Stereo sidechain can be used to animate melodic layers on the beat and to truly bring your Basslines to life.

INPUT LVL; Adjust the input signal level to your taste
GAIN; This knob adjusts the makeup gain of the compressor
THRESHOLD; Set the compressor threshold
COMP. AMT;This knob adjusts the compression ratio
STEREO LINK; Sending hard-panned or significantly different audio levels on the left and right channels into the audio inputs may result in undesired left-right panning on the output of the compressor, because the level detectors on each channel will ensure a different amount of compression. With the STEREO LINK switch on, the level detectors on both channels are merged and the min/max function is engaged. This ensures equal compression on both channels.
PROCESS; The bypass switch allows for turning off the compressor instantly
8 SEGMENT VU METER; 8 segment VU meter gives a visual reference of the output signal
IN L / IN R; These are the L and R audio inputs
OUT L / OUT R; These are the L and R outputs of the module
SIDE IN L / SIDE IN R; These are L and R sidechain inputs. You can process each channel individually
SIDE OUT L / SIDEOUT R; These are the sidechain signal outputs - they are buffered copies of the sidechain inputs

Notes: The STEREO FX module brings hi-fi stereo effects into the Erica Synths Drum Series. Based on Erica Synths' new DSP engine, the module provides a wide range of custom delay and reverb effects. CV control over various parameters and the ability to save up to 10 presets will make this module an integral part of any performance rack.

Features

Hi-Fi stereo FX module
3 delay and 3 reverb effects
Tap and clock synchronization of delay time
Delay time divisions and multiplications in sync mode
10 preset patches
CV control over delay time, feedback, and preset selection
The FX is developed in collaboration with the Dutch company 112dB which offers some of the best-sounding VST instruments.
