Frequently Asked Questions - Black Modulator v2 Erica Synths
How do I power the Black Modulator v2?
Connect the included 10-pin ribbon cable to your Eurorack power bus board, ensuring the red stripe aligns with -12V. The module requires +12V (60mA) and -12V (20mA).
What are the main functions of this module?
It provides two independent modulation sources: an LFO (with various shapes and audio rate capability) and an envelope follower. Each can be used as a modulation source or processed via CV inputs.
Can I use it as an audio oscillator?
Yes, one or both channels can run at audio rate (up to 20 kHz) and output a waveform, making it suitable for audio-rate modulation or as a crude oscillator.
How do I reset the module to factory defaults?
There is no dedicated reset function. To restore defaults, power cycle the module while holding both depth knobs fully clockwise. Alternatively, consult the manual for specific calibration steps.
What is the purpose of the Depth and Shape controls?
Depth adjusts the amplitude of the output signal (0 to ±5V). Shape morphs the waveform (e.g., from sine to square, or from ramp to saw) depending on the mode.
How does the envelope follower work?
The envelope follower extracts the amplitude envelope from an audio input signal. It can be used to modulate other parameters in your system, following the dynamics of the input.
Can I use this module with other Eurorack systems?
Yes, it is fully compatible with the Eurorack standard. Ensure your power supply can provide the required current and that the physical dimensions fit your case.
What is the voltage range of the CV inputs?
CV inputs accept 0 to +5V unipolar signals. Attenuverters allow you to scale and invert the modulation amount.
How do I calibrate the module?
Calibration is generally not needed. If required, set all controls to 12 o'clock, apply precise 1V/oct input to the CV input, and adjust the trimmer on the back (see manual for details).
Where can I find the user manual?
