Thank you for purchasing Erica Synths Pico VCO! It comes 1V/oct calibrated, but PSUs on modular
synths are so different, therefore, if needed, you can perform the calibration procedure specifically
for your modular setup. We have introduced two step calibration where you will need precise 5,000V
and 1,000V CV source (you can use midi-cv keyboard with 5 octaves range). To perform a calibration
procedure, follow these steps:
1) Disconnect your Pico VCO from the PSU.
2) Connect a patch cable to the CV source and make sure, you get 1,000V (exactly ONE VOLT) on the
output – you can play C1 on the midi-cv keyboard.
3) Turn both WAVE and TUNE knobs all way clockwise and flip both switches up (BANK1 and VCO
position). Then connect the VCO to the PSU on your modular! Output LED will light on.
4) Connect 1,000V patch cable to 1V/oct input of the Pico VCO!
5) Flip VCO/LFO switch down to LFO position to initiate the calibration step 1!
6) Now set the CV source to 5,000V (exactly
five volts) – you can play C5 on the midi-cv keyboard.
7) Flip VCO/LFO switch up to VCO position to initiate the calibration step 2!
8) Output LED will blink once, and this means that you have successfully calibrated the VCO!
