Use this knob to adjust VCF cutoff and VCA bias
manually. Incoming CV is added to the knob
setting
Adjust the resonance of the LPG circuit. Far CW
settings put the LPG in self-resonance, and it
can be used as a sound source
NB! it can get very loud!
These are the VCF cutoff/VCA bias CV inputs,
only CV2 is routed to the voicecard
Select between VCF and VCA modes! By default
the VCF has some preset resonance.

is our take on classical Don Buchla LPG designs.
We use vactrols in the circuit for that signature
sound, and we added resonance control of the
LPG circuit. When resonance is full CW, the module
goes into self-oscillation and can be used as a
sound source.
Adjust the Delay time from very short, flanger-like effects
CCW to nice analogue delay effects and extreme sonic
artefacts CW. The Time CV is added to the knob setting
Adjust feedback level! In full CW setting the module will go
to self oscillation
This is the Dry/Wet crossfade control
This is feedback filtering switch. At right most position you
will get authentic, unfiltered, bit noisy BBD sound, other
settings filter off noise, and the signal in feedback is
cleaner, but misses higher harmonics
This is time CV input
Patch the audio signal here
This is the output of the module

is full analogue 4092 stage bucket brigade delay
module. Besides nice and clean flanger and delay
effects, at full CV settings of TIME and feedback
knobs it can produce extreme sonic artefacts.
Tweak knobs and enjoy!
MODULES IN THE PICO SYSTEM III
Adjust the tune of the VCO manually! 1V/oct CV is added to
the setting of this knob
Adjust waveshape available on the SHAPE output manually!
SHAPE CV is added to the setting of this knob
Three position switch allows you to transpose the pitch of
the VCO one octave up or down
Patch the sequencer or any FM source here
This is Waveshaper CV input. Experiment with different
modulation sources to get drones, rhythmic patterns and
fat analogue sound
This is Waveshaper wave output
This is gentle sounding Triangle wave output
