Best Erica Synths Pico Ring Alternatives

Based on 3 reviews

I purchased this primarily to automate movement around the stereo field, which is does brilliantly. It also works well as a dual VCA, albeit one that can't be modulated by an external input at the only CV control relates to the stereo pan position and not the volume. It's perhaps worth noticing that you would need both Level dials set at the same level to get the best effect, even if there is only one input being used as these refer to the output level and not the input. This would be a great way to automate an oscillator's output to two different filters, automatically crossfading between the two. I can see more than one of these having a home in my rack.

It does what it's supposed to do. Love it, really useful to have two vc crossfaders so small. I really don't mind at all that it has zero controls, usually when I want to crossfade, I just want to do that, move from one signal to another with a simple cv. Perfect!

It's not flashy, it's not beautiful - but is, as is usual for doepfer, a robust good quality build and darned useful little module. Clean sound, no bells and whistles - unless you are making bell and whistle sounds of course, in which case it excels XD Ideas for uses; The obvious scifi sounds, feed it detuned or pitch modulated sine oscs and lots of reverb (maybe a199 spring verb). Split an osc signal with a mult and waveshape and frequency shift one copy and ringmod the two together (beefy sounds here!).
