Full Description

Erica Synths Black Series Modules

Erica Synths are renowned for creating high-end, premium quality equipment and gear. The Black Series of modules is no exception. Crafted from only the highest quality components, Erica's Black modules ensure pristine signal flow and excellent product life and durability, whilst all of the inputs and outputs are protected against overvoltage. The Black Series puts astounding design, innovation, and usability above the often limited capabilities of creating compact, narrow modules, resulting in a slightly larger module, but one that is filled to the brim with intelligent and exciting features and functions. The Black Series is the perfect choice for anyone who desires a powerful, versatile, and incredibly reliable modular system.

Indicator Settings/Configuration

• DIV: Select the clock division or multiplication rate for DIV OUT. Available options are: /2, /3, /4, /8, x2, x4, x8
• SHD: Select the clock multiplication rate for SHFL OUT. Available values are: x2, x4, x8
• RND: Select the clock division or multiplication rate for RND OUT. Available values are: /2, /3, /4, /8, x2, x4, x8
• RST: Configure the RESET feature. The module sens a reset signal to your sequencer, and it can be sent manually by pushing the RST button any time you desire, or it can send reset signals after a certain amount of clock pulses. Available settings are: MAN (Manual only reset), 16, 32, 48, 64
• SHG: Adjust the clock duty circle for the SHFL OUT output pulse. Available settings are from 10 to 90%, and random. The default setting is 50%
• RNG: Adjust the clock duty circle for the RND OUT output pulse. Available settings are from 10 to 90%, and random. The default setting is 50%
• PTS: Activate or deactivate the Performance Time Stopwatch function. PTS allows you to monitor the timing of your modular performances. If PTS is activated, after 5 seconds the BPM indicator will change to a timer screen that indicated minutes (two digits) passed from the moment the START/STOP button is pushed, and the module starts to output a clock signal. Pushing the START/STOP button will pause the stopwatch, and pushing the RST button will reset it

Controls & I/Os

• LED BPM INDICATORS: 7-segment LED indcator display that shows you the BPM of the CLK OUT socket. A small dot next to the last digit provides visual indication of the clock rate
• TAP/RND: Tap tempo button that can be used to set BPM. Push and hold the button and rotate the SHFL/RND potentiometer in order to set the clock output probability on RND OUT
• RST: Pushing this button sends a high pulse on the RST output. This can be used to reset your sequencer
• START/STOP: You can start and stop the clock on the output by pressing this button. Stopping the clock will not send an RST signal. Push and hold this control knob to active the Performance Time Stopwatch
• BPM/CONFIG: This encoder can be used to set the BPM manually. Click the encoder to access the configuration menu. Rotate the encoder to select the desired setting, and push the encoder to confirm it and return to the main menu. When you are happy with all of the settings, push the RST button to exit the CONFIG menu. The module will automatically exit the menu after 3 seconds of being idle. Click and hold the encoder to save your settings as the default device settings
• SHFL/RND: Control that allows you to adjust the shuffle level from 0 counter-clockwise, to extreme 90% clockwise
• CLK IN: Input for patching in an external clock. The LED indicators will display the external clock rate if one is patched in here
• BPM CV: Input for applying CV to alter the clock rate. The LED indicators will display the BPM set by the encoder, and they will not follow CV clock changes
• SHFL CV: Input for applying CV for the module's Shuffle function
• RST OUT: Sequencer reset output. Each time the RST button is pressed, the signal will be sent out of here to reset the sequencer
• CLK OUT: Output for the regular clock. The BPM is displayed with the LED indicators
• DIV OUT: Output for the divided or multiplied clock signal
• SHFL OUT: Shuffling clock output. Can be used to creating a more human feel or rhythm. Shiffling clock can be multiplied by a rate set by the encoder. You can also adjust the output pulse duty cycle
• RND OUT: The Random clock generates random clock pulses, with a relative frequency set by the BPM. You can also adjust the output pulse duty cycle
