Erica Synths Black CV Processor User Manual

Black CV Processor
THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING
ERICA BLACK SERIES MODULE!
Erica Black Series includes high‑end,
unique functionality and superior
quality modules. Only the best,
highest quality components are used,
all inputs and outputs are protected
against undesired overvoltage. When
designing Black Series, we put design
and usability superior. Big knobs
are assigned to functions that make
difference in sound. Erica Black series
consist of range of modules that are
needed to put together entire synth.
Enjoy!
Erica Black CV Processor allows you
to manage CV signal levels and
polarity. It contains two parts; the
input of the bottom one is normalled
to the output of the top one, and if
signal is plugged in Input of the top
part only, it is split in two signals,
each of which can be independently
altered.
FEATURES:
CV/audio signal attenuverter/booster
CV/audio signal offset
Direct and inverted signal outputs
Output signal indicator LEDs
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:
CV input level......................... -10V – +10V
Signal attenuation/boost............. 0 – x2
Power consumption...... +20mA, -20mA
Module width.....................................6HP
Module depth................................25mm
The knob sets desired signal
level: when turned clockwise
from full attenuation at
12 o’clock to 2x boost, when
turned counter clockwise, it
does the same, but inverts
the signal
Patch a CV or audio signal, you
want to alter here. Inputs are
DC coupled
This is inverted output of the
top section of the module
Patch second CV or audio
signal, you want to alter, here.
In case nothing is patched
in this jack, it is normalled
to OUT of top part of the
module, thus you split a CV in
two independent, buffered
CV signals
Bicolour LED gives visual
indication on signal state (positive
or negative)
Here’s output of the top section
of the module
Offset knob adds -5V to +5V
offset to incoming signal. Use it
to alter initial CV value applied
to, for example, VCA CV input
to keep the VCA partly open for
tremolo effects
The second Scale knob has
exactly same function as the top
one, but if only top IN is used, it
alters the signal, which comes
from top OUT. Use this feature to
send the same CV, for example,
to VCA (top OUT) and VCF
(bottom OUT) simultaneously,
and by adjusting both knobs get
interesting modulation effects
This is the output of the bottom
section of the module
This is inverted output of the
bottom section of the module
