BLACK XFADE
THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING ERICA
SYNTHS BLACK SERIES MODULE!
Erica Black Series include high-end,
unique functionality and superior quality
modules. Only the best, highest quality
components are used, all inputs and
outputs are protected against undesired
overvoltage. Erica Black series consist of
range of modules that are needed to put
together entire synth. Enjoy!
Erica Black XFADE is high-end module
for smooth manual or CV controlled
crossfading between two audio or
CV signals, essential for modular
performances. Fade curve is calculated
in a way that you do not loose signal
amplitude in any crossfade stage, and
LEDs give visual feedback on currently
active input. When used with CVs, the
module helps to come up with really
advanced modulations. In addition
Black XFADE can be used to boost CV
and audio signals.
FEATURES:
2 inputs with amplifiers and attenuators
Manually and CV controlled crossfade
Audio/CV mode switch
Crossfade status indication LEDs
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:
Input signal amplitude ......up to 20Vptp
Xfade CV amplitude (full sweep) ...........
.......................................................-5V-+5V
Input gain ................................................ 2
Power consumption ......+35mA, -34mA
Module width ...................................10HP
Module depth ...............................25mm
Use this knob to fade
manually between IN1
and IN2. The crossfade
curve is designed in a
way that you will not
loose signal amplitude in
any of crossfade stage
Choose the Xfade
mode! AUDIO mode will
eliminate possible DC
bias of audio signals,
CV mode allows you
to mangle modulation
signals in advanced ways
Adjust IN1 gain from
0 to 2!
This is crossfade CV input.
-5V CV will open IN1 fully,
+5V CV open IN2 fully.
