GUIDE TO ASSEMBLY OF ERICA SYNTHS WOGGLEBUG
If you are reading this, most probably, you are about to build Erica Synths Wogglebug. A Wogglebug has nostalgic
value for us, because in the beginning of 2014 a Wogglebug panel with a bug design was the first Erica Synths
project we offered for DIY community and it actually started a company. On August 2015 Scott Deyo from
Brideschamber
dropped us a mail asking, if we plan to make another run of Wogglebug panels, as we took it
serious.
The Wogglebug features 3 random audio outputs – Woggle tone, Tone, and Ring, a ringmodulated version of both
above , 3 random CV outputs with a wide range of randomness control, as well as Rate CV input, External Clock
input to sync a module to the external clock, and Clock Output to use a Wogglebug as a clock source.
We adapted Wogglebug for eurorack standard – recalculated component values to make it work properly from
12V PSU, added clock rate and stepped CV indicator LEDs, developed skiff friendly PCB and squeezed all parts on
a single PCB and made a new panel. The module doesn't need wiring and calibration, and it's comparably easy to
build – almost as easy as to draw an owl.
