Erica Synths PICO VCA2 Quick Start 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.

The Erica Synths Pico VCA2 is compact voltage controlled amplifier module,

based on reliable AS3330 chip. It features two independent channels, and the

first one comes with the manual offset adjustment, useful for full span

vibrato effects. Audio and CV inputs of the first VCA are normalled to the

second one, so the module can also be used as a buffered audio splitter. VCAs

are DC coupled, and they can be used for controlling amplitude of control

voltage signals.

Page 2 PICO VCA2 VCA2 This is the audio input of the first VCA. It’s DC coupled, so, it also will work for controlling an amplitude of the control voltages (LFOs, for example) Adjust the VCA bias manually, meaning – you can offset the CV in order to have desired amplitude modulation range on the output.
