Quick Links

If you are reading this, most probably, you are about to build the
Erica Synths DIY Multimode VCF! It's a multimode filter with a CV
control over cutoff and resonance and simultaneous LP, BP and HP
outputs for serious modular patches. The core of the VCF is highly
stable, custom multimode VCF chip AS3320 (produced in Riga,
btw).
The Multimode VCF kit comes in three versions:
1) Set of 2 PCBs + AS3320 IC + mechanical parts (PCB connectors
and spacer),
2) Set of 2 PCBs + + AS3320 IC + mechanical parts (PCB connectors
and spacer) + panel,
3) Full kit.
FEATURES:
• Simultaneous LP, BP and HP outputs
• CV control over cutoff and resonance
• Cutoff CV attenuverter
• Volume drop compensation, as resonance is increased
• High temperature stability
• Skiff-friendly design
SPECIFICATIONS:
• Audio input amplitude
• CV amplitude (full sweep)
• Panel width
• Module depth
• Power consumption

The big knob makes a difference! This is the
1
filter cutoff frequency control.
2
This is the cutoff CV input
3
This is the resonance CV input
4
Adjust the input signal level with this knob!
This knob adjusts resonance level. The module
has volume drop compensation, so with
5
increasing resonance, the audio volume will not
reduce

This is the cutoff CV attenuverter

  • Page 2 GUIDE TO ASSEMBLY OF ERICA SYNTHS MULTIMODE VCF ASSEMBLY Take precautions with regard to electrostatic discharge (ESD) safety. Handling components should be done in an electrostatically safe environment. Use personal and workplace grounding. Any discharge (even a minor one) from your body to a component may permanently damage it.
  • Page 3 GUIDE TO ASSEMBLY OF ERICA SYNTHS MULTIMODE VCF Solder the capacitors on both boards! Solder the electrolytic capacitors on the Main Solder, the voltage regulator, the board! These are non-polarized capacitors, so potentiometers and jacks on the controls polarity doesn’t matter.
  • Page 4 GUIDE TO ASSEMBLY OF ERICA SYNTHS MULTIMODE VCF Turn the controls board around and solder the Solder board connectors (male) on the main board! electrolytic capacitors, the PSU connector, the board connectors (female) and resettable fuses (round ones that come with a kit are ok to fit on the top side of the board).
