A formidable upgrade from their previous model, the Erica Synths Black System III takes many of the most popular modules from their "Black" line and packs them into a 2x104HP skiff case to assemble a monster modular system that synth players at Sweetwater rank alongside some of the most legendary modular heavyweights. Stocked with 16 modules, including Oscillators, Filters, Envelope Generators, Modulators, Controllers, and a killer delay unit, the Black System III has everything you need to generate next-level soundscapes, from chaotic blips and bloops to hypnotic drones, musical tones, and everything in between.Voltage-controlled Oscillators Black VCO 2 x 2 Boasting four simultaneous waveform outputs, plus an octave-down sub-oscillator, the Erica Synths Black VCO 2 Eurorack module generates a wall of sonic richness on demand. Pitch tracking is especially precise over an 8-octave range, perfect for real-time playing with an external controller keyboard. An exponential FM input (with attenuator) opens up an entirely new range of timbres to explore beyond the base waveforms. Black Wavetable VCO The Black Wavetable VCO opens up limitless creative potential, with 16 banks of 16 morphable wavetables and runs the gamut of synth sounds: classic waveshapes, FM synthesis, vowels, and grimy electro tones — and it's expandable using optional ROM chips. With three sub-oscillator waves, the Black Wavetable VCO pumps out thunderous lows and features an onboard bitcrusher for total sonic devastation.Voltage-controlled Filter Black Multimode VCF Build mind-bending patches with the Black Multimode VCF, using its simultaneous highpass, lowpass, and bandpass outputs. The Black Multimode VCF has a large, gratifying cutoff knob, cutoff and resonance CV blend, and a germanium diode overdrive circuit for dialing in some serious grit.Lowpass Gate Black LPG Devised by synth pioneer Don Buchla, the lowpass gate was instrumental to the distinctive West Coast synthesis sound. Essentially a voltage-controlled filter merged with a voltage-controlled amplifier, a lowpass gate provides synthesists with a unique means for shaping the harmonic content of a signal. Erica Synths puts their own twist on this classic formulation with the Erica Synths LPG lowpass gate. In contrast to the original Buchla design, which employed a 1st order (or single-pole) VCF, the Black LPG features a 2nd-order (2-pole) VCF, providing a tighter sound and the ability to dramatically exaggerate resonance at the cutoff point — just the thing for cooking up squelching acid bass lines.Envelope Generator Black EG An all-analog ADSR envelope, the Black EG delivers everything you expect from an envelope generator with some awesome added features, including a unique looping function, gate delay, selectable long/short envelope length, and separate direct and inverted envelope outputs.Modulator Black Modulator The Black Modulator is the Black System III's ultra-powerful LFO/audio frequency oscillator, Zener-diode noise generator, and sample and hold module. The Black Modulator outputs sine, triangle, and pulse waveforms, alongside white noise, pink noise, and crushed noise (which has a separate control known for cranking up the chaos). The unit also supplies a CV/external audio input and a clock input for controlling the sample and hold circuit.Volt-controlled Amplifier Black Quad VCA2 x 2 The Erica Synths Black Quad VCA2 is ideally equipped to handle the complex routing requirements of large Eurorack rigs. This 12HP module contains four individual VCAs with four inputs, four outputs, and four CV inputs to connect envelope generators, LFOs, and other modulators to the VCAs' level controls. The VCA outputs are set up in a sequential output mixing configuration, meaning the output signals sum until the path is interrupted by a patch cable. Then, that output and the previous output (or outputs) sum, leaving the following outputs independent — a standout feature for building uniquely layered combinations.Tools and Controllers Black CV Tools Designed for advanced signal processing, Black CV Tools is a CV mixer, scaler, offsetter, and waveshaper. Each of Black CV Tools' two mixers has three inputs along with a dedicated SCALE knob and a dedicated OFFSET knob. SCALE acts as an attenuverter and booster, and the OFFSET knob can affect a signal positively or negatively. Black CV Tools also includes powerful waveshaping functionality with outputs for the minimum and maximum curves of mixer A and mixer B. And, for even more manipulability, Black CV Tools can be alternatively configured via jumper cables on the back of the module. Black Joystick2 Part of the Erica Synths Black series of boutique-quality Eurorack Modules, the Joystick2 presents a unique way to interface with your Eurorack rig to craft unconventional modulation patterns. This sleek 12HP module features eight simultaneous CV outputs (with 90-degree phase-shifted outputs on the Y-axis), two gate outputs, and an engaging joystick controller for manipulating parameters. There are four operation modes to choose from: Joystick; Sinewave LFO/Drone Oscillator; Random LFO/Noise Oscillator; and SNEW (South-North-East-West) Panner.Delay and Multi-effects Black Stereo Delay The Black Stereo Delay has a brain-boggling delay time range from 3ms — for the shortest of slaps, to 3000ms — for droning, cavernous repeats. Operable in three modes — digital, tape, or ping-pong, the Black Stereo can sound warm and vintage or detailed and modern, with stupefying stereo effects that leave you swimming. It allows you to set tempo by tap or clock sync, and it has CV-controllable delay time, blend, and feedback. HOLD mode samples and repeats up to 40 seconds of audio, and you can layer delayed signals on top of each other by pressing the ADD button. The Black Stereo Delay also sports a reverse function for bonkers backward effects. Black Hole DSP2 Erica Synths' Black Hole DSP2 is a 16HP Eurorack module featuring 24 custom effects, co-designed by Erica team member Kodek and Gary Worsham, creator of SpinCAD software. Each effect has three manual- and CV-controllable parameters, manual and CV control over sampling frequency from 48kHz to crunchy lo-fi, and analog dry/wet mixing. All effect parameter settings can be saved to memory and instantly recalled with the effect, which makes Black Hole DSP II perfect for live performance.Sequencer Black Sequencer Erica Synths has elevated classic modular sequencing with the Erica Synths Black Sequencer, a powerful 4-channel Eurorack step sequencer with a bevy of modern features. Along with traditional CV and gate sequencing, the Black Sequencer offers several advanced sequencing options, including a built-in quantizer with numerous factory-preset scales, microtonal tuning, timing division and multiplication, random pattern generation, and per-step note repeat and ratcheting. With up to 64 steps per pattern, and the ability to chain up to 64 patterns in song mode, the Black Sequencer is a formidable compositional and performance tool.Mixer and Output Black Mixer/Splitter The Black Mixer/Splitter pulls your Black System III soundscapes together, boasting four buffered inputs on the Mixer side and four buffered outputs on the Splitter side. It's the perfect module for handling the intricate signal processing of which the Black System III is capable. Black Output The Black Output module caps off your signal chain with three mono inputs (each with its own pan knob), CV pan on channel 3, a stereo input, master volume, and a dedicated headphone volume. The module provides stereo (left/right) balanced jacks for outputting signal to a mixing console or recording interface.Erica Synths Black System III Eurorack Modular Synthesizer Features: Packed with 16 modules from Erica Synths' renowned "Black" line of Eurorack modules Contains everything you need for next-level synthesis: oscillators, VCFs, envelope generators, VCA, Tools, Controllers, and Delay Housed in an ultra-durable 2x104HP skiff case Includes universal power supply (PSU) and 30 patch cables SpecificationDetail Type Eurorack Modular System Bundle RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
