Best Erica Synths Pico System III Module Alternatives

Based on 5 reviews

This is really a complete analog synth voice, minus only an envelope generator (if you should need one, which I generally don't as I am mostly using breath CV for controlling VCA and VCF). Its very wallet friendly price makes it a no-brainer to buy. I have bought lots of these now and I have had no problems at all. They all keep scale tuning and sound great. The high+low level outputs makes it possible to run it directly to the line level input of an amplifier or mixer which is nice.

When Doepfer announced they were re-releasing the A-111-5 Mini Synthesizer Voice module with a new chip, I was a bit skeptical. The Dark Energy has a unique sound and I was worried that the new version of this module wouldn't be the same. I was wrong. It is a perfect recreation of the original module/synth. If you're thinking about getting one of these, but are having the same second thoughts that I had, don't sweat it! Get it while you still can! It sounds phenomenal. I'd rate it five stars across the board, but this is a rather basic synth voice, so I knocked off one star for features.

Have been searching for a quality sound module to compliment my RKY sequencer to make acid and electro. This module is exceptionally well built and can acheive a wide range of sound textures. Classic Doepfer build quality, super solid my inky regret is that I didn't get it sooner.

This module is often considered as the poor mans Doepfer Dark Energy, as the oscillator sounds less fatty than the DDE. But well, I guess it is not intended to be a 100% copy of the DDE. But the VCF has a lovely response that the DDE does not offer, ranging from lushy flute to metallic string.
