    I love this module!
    I wish Erica would make a stand-alone synth based on this VCO, like the Bassline.

    wavetable modules scare me since they can be so uncontrollable but this one make it seem so easy, almost every button you moved just instantly gives new great sound, and so much great ideas can flow from it. got to love erica synths

    It's an astonishing VCO. I bought a second one a few times after the first one because it is able of a so wide range of sounds. The optional bank (25€) is very interesting and does not cost a lot, I installed it on both VCO. The Sub modes are monstruous, specially the 3rd one that is a true different analog bass sound. I'm not too much a digital guy but this VCO is bringing something more to my rack.

    Just ordered mine along with dual vcf filter after loving the ones from Erica Synths in VCV Rack.

    I have this in software form in VCV Rack and you inspired me to play with it more than I had previously. It's a very cool module.

    Awesome demo. The Erica Black Wavetable and Polivoks filter are a great pair. Two of my favourite modules. Sometimes i use only those two for hours, or weeks... :-)

    Mine is on its way as I write, so this is a perfect intro to what seems like a monster. Can’t wait to run some of those ‘standard waves’ through a wavefolder…

    really like your videos dude. very clear info. good for a newbie to eurorack such as myself. I bought this VCO to use as an oscillator for my 84HP setup, so this vid so far is very helpful.

    When I remember first watching this video I could’ve sworn you were using 2 of these modules, but watching it again, I see it’s just one… WOW

    Erica Synths should hire you to make their demos! I like that your approach to this module is minimal, in that it is so powerful that it is all you need. I would have approached it as another flavor in addition to a couple of normal vcos, which makes no sense when you consider all the analog vcos I already have at my disposal.

    This was my very first module, and indeed it was truly love at first sight. Keeping it forever... unless erica synths come with a monster V2, then i might change my mind

    It is really nice to take part in your journey into modular - an experienced synth user just jumping into the whole mess of wires and choices. And you always have a nice vibe and energy, keep it coming Starsky. :) Looks like this module wouldn't fare too badly on it's own, just need a EG or LFO and off you go! Or maaaaybe two of these? :)

    • @StarskyCarr

    finally looking into this one and glad i did - great overview! i wish the cv control modes were broken out separately and not behind a single input & switch, though.

  • @nth7485
    @nth7485 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    A couple of things stand out about this module.
    The smooth morphing between waves.
    The warmth and fatness of the sounds.
    The user interface is slightly unintuitive, I tend to forget how to switch between the settings.
    The lack of a dedicated octave switch is bothersome.

  • @PacificIslandDrive

    I wish they would make an optional stand-alone desktop version of this, for those of us that don’t own a modular set-up. I’d love to run my Hydrasynth through it, like I do the ‘Zen Delay’.

    • @ModernDevotion
      @ModernDevotion 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Wouldn’t really be able to run audio into it since it’s an oscillator tho right? If they made it box like the bassline desktop that would be pretty nice 👍

      You can do that no problem, unless your Hydrasynth is the explorer version.

    Just a quick question: Does the out signal jump up a notch in volume and brightnessright At the end of travel if you crank the bitcrush all the way? If so, why?

    • @StarskyCarr
      @StarskyCarr  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I can’t get it to do that. Just had a play but no volume changes. Some sounds will introduce new harmonics with the bitrate change but that will very much depend on the wave shape and possibly the filter resonance if it’s going through one?
