Erica Synths Pico System III Eurorack Modular Synthesizer System (Eurorack Module) - Manual (Page 2)

ERICA PICO SYSTEM III
Erica Synths Pico System III is affordable, compact, yet powerful sounding,
full analogue modular system. It comes in two formats – eurorack and
desktop.
Pico System III brings modular synthesis back to the basics – the system has
multi functional (instead of single-function, like Pico Drums or Pico Trigger in the
Pico System II) analogue modules and is intended to encourage creativity in
modular patching. The system has 31 inputs and 20 outputs (master output is
dublicated) + 7 switches; if you have enough patch cables at your disposal, you can
patch the system in 121000931215044250740178662400 or 1.21x10 29 variations (we
ignored possibility to adjust potentiometers here). Even though only 0,0001% of all
patches will sound more-less enjoyable, you and all your future generations can
spend a lifetime only patching the Pico System III.
Voicecards with preset patches set it apart from other eurorack systems –
they allow user to change patches instantly and radically, which makes the
system well suited for experimental live performances. The system comes
with 5 great sounding “factory preset” voicecards, and 5 DIY voicecards that
are empty and user can develop his/her own patches. More voicecards are
available from Erica Synths shop.
Pico System III features a set of modules for advanced sound design, exper-
iments in modular patching and educational purposes. The system includes:
2-3-4 step sequencer, 2xVCOs, 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
lowpass gate and BBD delay.
