Thank you for purchasing the 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 Envelope Follower features a preamp with +40dB gain,
enough to boost even guitar AND DYNAMIC MICROPHONE signals for use in a
modular
system, which also can serve as a nice overdrive effect, envelope output with
adjustable attack time, and a gate output with adjustable threshold. The Pico
E.F.
will be useful as a preamp, overdrive unit, for controlling VCFs in a beat
with a drum track to create the acid basslines, to synchronize a modular
system to the external instruments, and for other creative and experimental
applications.
