Erica Synths Intros Hybrid Digital & Analog MonoSynth For DIY Community

Here’s what our friends at Erica Synths have told us about their patchable mono synth, DIY Synth Voice. How it came into being, and what it does. The video is well worth watching too.

When developing Erica Black Series and Pico Series modules, we accumulated quite a know-how on compact and great sounding designs, and we decided to share some of those with DIY community. And therefore Erica Synths proudly presents – DIY Synth Voice module!

It consists of all the essential blocks for a versatile monosynth, and is 100% patchable for even more control options. In order to make the module more compact and reliable in tuning, it has a digital/analogue design. VCO and envelope generators/LFOs are digital, other parts are analogue. Digital parts are designed around pre-programmed MCU board, which comes with a kit pre-soldered on a small controller board. Chain up several Erica Synths DIY Synth Voice modules and you have a versatile polysynth!
