DocumentDocumentPICO VCA2 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. FEATURES Two independent VCAs with a linear response Manual bias adjustment on the top VCA Input normalling DC coupling Input protection against overvoltage Protection against reverse PSU connection Nominal audio signal level CV level (full span) Max attenuation Power consumption Module width Module depth 10Vptp -5V - +5V -110dB +20mA, -19mA 3HP 35mm TECHNICAL SPECS 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) This is the CV input of the first VCA, It has linear response IN1 BIAS CV1 Adjust the VCA bias manually, meaning you can offset the CV in order to have desired amplitude modulation range on the output. For example, for a tremolo effect, you do not want the VCA close completely at negative CVs from the LFO, therefore using the BIAS control, you can offset the CV1 so that it's in 0-+10V range, instead of -5V - +5V This is the input of the second VCA. It's normalled to the input of the first one, so, if nothing is patched here, the signal from the first input will be automatically applied to this input, and the audio or CV gets split into two channels OUT1 IN2 CV2 This is the output of the first VCA This is the CV input of the second VCA. It's normalled to the CV1 input This is the output of the second VCA OUT2 Safety Instructions Please follow the instructions for use of the Erica Synths module below, `cause only this will guarantee proper operation of the module and ensure warranty from Erica Synths. Water is lethal for most of the electric devices, unless they are made waterproof. This Erica Synths module is NOT intended for use in a humid or wet environment. No liquids or other conducting substances must get into the module. Should this happen, the module should be disconnected from mains power immediately, dried, examined and cleaned by a qualified technician. Do not expose the module to temperatures above +50° C or below -20° C. If you have transported module in extreme low temperatures, leave it in room temperature for an hour before plugging it in. Transport the instrument carefully, never let it drop or fall over. Warranty does not apply to modules with visual damages. The module has to be shipped in the original packaging only. Any module shipped to us for return, exchange and/or warranty repair has to be in its original packaging. All other deliveries will be rejected and returned to you. Make sure you keep the original packaging and technical documentation. This device complies to the EU guidelines and is manufactured RoHS conforming without use of led, mercury, cadmium and chrome. Nevertheless, this device is special waste and disposal in household waste is not recommended.
