The Erica Synths Fusion series – a new collection of vacuum tube synthesis modules – are now available for Eurorack synthesizers.
Erica Fusion series consist of whole range of modules used in sound generation and shaping circuit – pure sine VCO with unique tube waveshaper (will be available mid-January 2015), VCO signal Mixer, Ringmodulator, VCF, VCA and Analogue Delay/Chorus. The first two modules are an Analogue Delay/Chorus module and a VCF.
The Analogue Delay/Chorus module uses classical BBD chip and is capable of wide range of FXes.
It’s available now for €290.00 at the Erica Synths site.
The Erica Fusion VCF is built around classical T bandpass filter topology with a tube working simultaneously as a preamplifier and filter feedback driver. As result you get a VCF with wide range of sonic possibilities from warm, juicy sound to extreme, distorted and self-resonating screams. With resonance fully CW you get sinewave tube VCO (not 1V/oct).
The Fusion VCF is available now for €280.00 at the Erica Synths site.
Erica Synths says that their Fusion VCA, VCO signal Mixer and Ringmodulator vacuum tube synth modules are ‘coming soon’.
Another power supply to power just these modules?
Not sure if I want that.
Most tubes require a high volltage. Check out the other tube offerings in Eurorack. Metasonix have very special requirements on Power supplies and Trogotronic require separate wall warts.
Yes, and these tubes are not using quite enough current to bring out their characteristics..
Power supply comes for free with purchase of 2 or more Erica Fusion modules.
Did a little more research. No tube modules will be in my rack going forward.
Good luck.
Looks cool, I hope tubes are well shielded, tubes in general are prone to a lot of interferance.
Yeah, the tube seems pretty open to other electromagnetic interference. I’m sure they have something to prevent that kind of interference though.
