Erica Synths Pico Drum2 Manual

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 DRUM 2 is compact yet versatile percussion synthesizer.

It features 8 distinct drum synthesis algorithms! Each algorithm has

3 adjustable parameters (the third typically is decay), ALL OF THEM CAN

BE MAPPED TO CV.

8 percussion algorithms

3 parameters per algorithm

1V/oct tuning

CV control over all parameters

CV controlled algorithm switching

Input protection against overvoltage

Protection against reverse PSU connection

Page 2 PICO DRUM2 DRUM2 Use this knob to control the first parameter of the algorithm! Refer to the table below for feature assigned to each algorithm! For most algorithms it controls the pitch of the sound. At far clockwise settings the module starts to PARAM1 generate unexpected sonic artifacts - we purposely let it work like that in order...

Param 2 controls the wavefold and pitch decay at the same time.
