Frequently Asked Questions - Black VCO2 Erica Synths
What is the power consumption of the Black VCO2?
The module draws approximately 60 mA on +12V and 40 mA on -12V.
Can I use the Black VCO2 as an LFO?
Yes, the frequency range switch allows selection between audio rate and LFO mode (down to a few Hz).
What waveforms are available simultaneously?
All four waveforms (saw, triangle, square, sine) are available at the same time on individual outputs.
Does it support frequency modulation?
Yes, it has both linear and exponential FM inputs with dedicated attenuator controls.
How do I calibrate the 1V/oct tracking?
Calibration is factory-set. If needed, adjust the coarse tune and fine tune trimmers inside the module. Refer to the manual.
What is the output voltage level?
Outputs are typically 10V peak-to-peak (5V amplitude) for saw and square, slightly lower for triangle and sine.
Can I sync multiple oscillators?
Yes, the hard sync input allows syncing the oscillator to an external signal, resetting the waveform cycle.
Is the Black VCO2 through-hole or SMD?
It uses SMD components for compactness, but all circuit are through-hole for easy DIY repairs if needed.
What type of PWM does it have?
Pulse width modulation (PWM) is available on the square wave output, controlled by a CV input and manual knob.
How do I clean the module?
Disconnect power, then wipe the front panel with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquids or abrasive cleaners.
