THANK YOU FOR
ORDERING ERICA SYNTHS
ADSR ENVELOPE
GENERATOR KIT!
This ADSR envelope generator is another module in Erica
Synths DIY Polivoks modules line. If other modules in Erica
Synths Polivoks line are updated versions of original designs
and use original Russian parts, because they are in sound
generation/shaping chain, envelope generator is designed
from the scratch. I have made the original Polivoks envelope
generator couple of years ago for my rack mount Polivoks
clone, but I found it unstable and unpredictable, and, when I
tried to use it in eurorack modular, I could not get it working.
Therefore together with my friend, musician and engineer
Edward D-tech, we decided to develop our own EG that mimics
Polivoks Envelope generator, but has much wider range and
has unique, unseen before solutions.

ADSR knobs. Adjust desired ADR time (1ms – 5s) and
Sustain level (0 - +10V)
Loop switch. EG loops in AR mode and Sustain knob biases
the envelope from 0 to +10V. In Loop mode you still can
retrigger the envelope with Gate or Trigger.
Hard Gate switch. Removes gate, and envelope generator
goes into Attack-Decay mode. In this mode Sustain level
knob biases the envelope from 0 to +10V.
Trigger input. Retriggers envelope at any moment. If
nothing is plugged in, it is normalled to gate. Configu-
rable for Active High (standard eurorack) or Active Low
(Korg) gates.
Gate input. Accepts any gate signal (adjustable
threshold). Configurable for Active High (standard
eurorack) or Active Low (Korg) gates.
