Erica Synths Fusion Drone Eurorack Synth System Released & It Sounds Stunningly Esoteric

We liked the first video from Erica Synths showcasing their Fusion Drone modular synth system... but this second one is much better and will probably blow your sound design brain cells. Drones are in.  

I do tend to get a little over excited by synths. I admit it. So, if drones aren't your thing... or modular synths don't turn your knobs, then please don't continue. There's plenty of other articles on Askaudio to satisfy your thirst for music making knowledge and know-how.

For those still with us, here's the latest video from Erica Synths for their Fusion Drone Eurorack modular synth system. Headphones recommended.

Here's what Erica Synths have released about this Fusion Drone System:

"Have you heard about Erica Synths Fusion Drone System? Almost all modules including two key (and new!) modules – Fusion VCO and Fusion Delay/Flanger/Vintage Ensemble – of this system are already available and will be shipped after August 22nd!

Almost all modules including two key modules – Fusion VCO and Fusion Delay/Flanger/Vintage Ensemble – of Fusion Drone System are already available and will be shipped after August 22nd! 

Fusion VCO

Fusion VCO is absolutely new Erica Synth Fusion line module which fuses good tuning of digital VCO with warm, unique sound of vacuum tubes that work in suboscillator circuit. Two double triodes in bistable latch connection act as suboscillators: -1 and -2 octaves with plenty of mixing opportunities for amazing sonic results. External audio signal can replace internal VCO. It’s exactly what you need, if you wish to go really low frequencies and have a sound that sets your modular system apart from mass!

Erica Synths Fusion VCO module

Main features:

  •   3 basic waveforms (sine, triangle and pulse) with VC morphing, for example, triangle morphs from sawtooth to ramp

  •   1V/oct tuning for 8 octaves

  •   Vacuum tube based suboscillators -1 and -2 oct

  •   Manual and CV controlled -1/-2 oct mixing

  •   Adjustable suboscillator waveshape

  •   Dry/Wet (VCO/suboscillators) mixing

  •   Passive Lowpass filter for extreme subbass sound

  •   Audio input

Erica Synths Fusion Delay/Flanger/Vintage Ensemble

Erica Synths Fusion Delay/Flanger/Vintage Ensemble module is distinct multifunctional analogue effects module that combines BBD chip based effects with an adjustable tube overdrive in the delay output and feedback path for extra thickness of sound. For more flexibility, lowpass filtering is fully adjustable from none to extreme. Special feature, not found in eurorack, is Vintage Stereo Ensemble – effect that’s common on vintage synthesizers to create moving and thick spatial sound from a monaural tone generator, be it VCO, FM, DCO or any other kind. Such spatial effect is achieved by mixing dry source with delayed and lowpass filtered out of phase signal.

  •   Delay and Flanger effects
