USER MANUAL Pico Noise Erica Synths

WITH PICO SERIES WE CHALLENGED OURSELVES – CAN WE MAKE ANY SUPERIOR FUNCTIONALITY SYNTH MODULE 3HP WIDE AND AFFORDABLE? YES, WE CAN.

ERICA PICO NOISE IS A VERSATILE NOISE AND PERCUSSION SOUNDS SOURCE. IT CONSISTS OF WHITE A NOISE GENERATOR, A RESONANT VCF TO GENERATE VARIOUS COLOURS OF THE NOISE – FROM EXTREMELY DARK ONES TO HIGH PITCHED RESONANT SWEEPS AND A VCA/DECAY ENVELOPE GENERATOR COMBINATION TO CREATE RANGE OF PERCUSSION SOUNDS TO EMULATE HI-HATS, CYMBOLS AND EVEN SINE TONE-BASED PERCUSSIONS, WHEN THE RESONANCE IS FULL UP.
