Erica Synths Black Code Source & Expander 2014 - Present - Black

Black Code Source & Black Code Source Expander - Erica Synths

Black Code Source Description:

Erica Synths Black Code Source is a unique design, true stereo digital noise or dual random CV generator using a complicated calculation of polynomials of various configurations.

Features:

• Dual random CV generator
• Up to 9 noise flavours with adjustable pitch
• All parameters are CV controllable
• Expandable features with an Expander module
• This module will fit ideally in a percussion synthesis or random, self generation patches. The Code Source also can be used as an extreme effects unit to bitcrush and destroy sounds in radical ways.

Basically, you can consider it as a sample&hold noise generator, that is able to “rewind” or repeat incredibly long sequences of seemingly random levels. X, Y and S controls together provide over 4000 different dual CV sequences for every MODE switch position, that can be triggered via the S TRIG.

Specifications:

Width 10 HP

Depth 35 mm

Power +143mA
-64mA

Code Source Expander Description:

Erica Synths Black Code Source Expander takes the Code Source to the next level by adding autobend feature and more noise/CV modes.

Autobend provides a useful attack envelope for the internal clock generator’s pitch and some outside CV control. This feature helps to quickly achieve authentic chip-tune percussion and oldschool electronic game sounds.

NB! Use the ribbon cable supplied with the module to connect the Expander to the Code Source! To connect the Expander you will need to remove the security jumper from the socket on the Code Source module. Pay close attention to the connector socket marking and do not mix it up with the PSU connector! The Code Source Expander will work only with the Code Source module and is not intended to work as a standalone module. Connecting PSU to the Expander will permanently damage it.

Specifications:

Power consumption: +16 mA, -11mA

Module width: 6HP

Module depth: 25 mm
