ERICA SYNTHS - PICO SYSTEM 3

"Erica Synths Pico System III is affordable, compact, yet powerful sounding, full analogue modular system. It comes in two formats – eurorack and desktop."

There are 12 analog circuits and 1 digital circuit and you can't exchange any of these "modules". The whole system, is completly, patchable.

Very interesting, is the "voice - card feature".

These cards, are allowing you to use, literally, pre - wired patches. One card, is similar, to a stored factory - or preset - sound. If you want to "store" your own patch, you have to use a soldering - iron, to bridge the patch - points on that card. You can, also, add resistors. In this case, you don't have to use the potentiometer, to complete the sounds. The Pico System III, is coming with 5 "factory - patches" (pre - wired) and 5 DIY - cards (empty).

Features:
°2-3-4 step sequencer
°2x VCOs
°VCO controller/VCA module
°several mixers that work both with CV and audio signals
°Modulator (syncable LFO, random CV and noise source)
°2x voltage controlled ASR envelope generators
°2x resonant lowpass gates
°BBD delay

Price: €450 (Desktop) €400 (Euro - Rack) plus 21% VAT.
