This knob sets LFO and S&H clock frequency.

Patch external clock signal here to sync

LFO and S&H frequency to the external

clock. When external clock is applied, the

Rate knob becomes clock divider (CCW

from 12:00) or multiplier (CW from 12:00)

This is sine LFO output. LED1 indicates LFO

(sine and pulse) and S&H clock frequency.

This is the pulse wave LFO output, use it also

for clocking the sequencer. LED2 indicates

random pulse output

This is the Random Trigger output. The

frequency of the random triggers is set

by the RATE knob

This is the S&H CV output

This is the noise output

MODULATOR

is combined clock/LFO/random voltage

source module. It generates sine and pulse

LFO waves, white noise, S&H CV and random

triggers; basically, everything, you need, to

bring some uncertainty in your modular setup.

This knob sets Attack time. The incoming

CV is added to the knob setting.

This knob sets Decay time. The incoming CV

is added to the knob setting.

Select between looping mode and triggered mode! In

looping mode, when CV is applied to attack and/or decay

controls, the module can work as a drone generator

This is the manual trigger button

This is the Attack CV input

This is the Decay CV input

This is the Trigger/Gate input. If gate is applied,

the module advances to the ASR mode automatically

This is the output of the module. The LED gives visual

feedback on the output voltage

VC EG

is versatile looping AD/ASR envelope generator

with voltage control over attack and decay times. It has

automatic Trigger/Gate detection, as well as“drone mode” –

at full CW setting of the Decay knob, the envelope is full

open. In the LOOP mode you can retrigger envelopes for

even more interesting modulations.

MODULES IN THE PICO SYSTEM III

Use these knobs to set the voltages per step. LEDs will

give visual feedback on the currently active step. If you

apply the audio signal to the input, the sequencer will act

as a waveshaper, where the signal is converted into (up to)

4 step “staircase” with adjustable step height. This way you

can create a suboscillaors and plenty of other distinct

sounds that are in tune with your audio source.

Select a number of steps (2-3-4) in the sequence!

Patch the clock or audio signal here. Due to limited panel

space and functionality, Pico SEQ2 does not have a Gate

output. We recommend you to use stackable patchcables

to copy clock signal to envelope generators OR get gates

from Pico Trigger or Logic modules

This is the CV output

Adjust the tune of the VCO manually! 1V/oct CV

is added to the setting of this knob

Adjust Pulse Width manually! PWM CV is added

to the setting of this knob

Three position switch allow you to transpose

the pitch of the VCO one octave up or down

Patch the sequencer or any FM source here

This is PWM CV input. Experiment with different

modulation sources to get drones, rhythmic

patterns and fat analogue sound

This is Pulse wave output

This is gentle sounding Triangle wave output
