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.
