At Superbooth 2018, Erica Synths introduced their new Techno System, a collection of Eurorack modules designed for techno.
The Techno System features 15 modules, including drum modules, effects and a sequencer module.
We talked with Erica Synths head Girts Ozolins about the new system, with special help from KODEK.
See the Erica Synths site for details.
Techno? LOL! It seems the Erica engineers suffer from historical amnesia. Techno music officially died on the 24th of July 2010, when a crowd disaster happened at the 2010 Love Parade electronic dance music festival in Duisburg, Germany. It caused the death of 21 people from suffocation. At least 500 more were injured. Ask (former) techno acts like Westbam, Carl Cox, or Laurent Garnier. They would all confirm that.
That was tragic, yes. Also tragic that techno is dead for you. It’s well alive for me (:
whats wrong with you? Techno is more alive then ever… make your hip hop and leave the good music for us…
Don’t worry, he is like the “my Electribe 2 is better, screen-wise…” kid. The same copy/paste comment under every “Techno” post.

Synthopia was a little late for the Superbooth party

Winner of the Show for me. Sounds utterly gorgeous.
I second that – this system is amazing. WANT
Seems to be mostly a Nava 909 cut into individual modules and mounted in eurorack. + Bass line and sampler, I know. Still, hardly a complete “techno” system. Compare to eg. Ansome’s eurorack setup.
That’s sort of the point of a modular synth.
It sounds like it should, but that a genre can be captured in a mere 15 modules also shows just how formulaic (this particular strand of) techno has become. But whining aside, can somebody please clone the Pearl Syncussion SY-1 into Eurorack?

The Erica Synths guys are modular gods. They decided one day that theyโd like some techno modules, so they come up with a complete collection of 15!
