PICO
VC EG
Thank you for purchasing Erica Synths Pico Series module!
With Pico Series we challenged ourselves – can we make ANY
superior functionality synth module 3HP wide and affordable?
Yes, we can.
Erica Pico VC EG is versatile looping AD/ASR envelope generator
with voltage control over attack and decay times. It has
automatic Trigger/Gate detection, as well as “drone mode” –
at full CW setting of the Decay knob, the envelope is full open.
In the LOOP mode you can retrigger envelopes for even more
interesting modulations.
