Stereo FX incorporates new DSP engine, and DJ VCF features distinctive filtering technology
Riga, Latvia, December 29, 2023 — Erica Synths has launched two new Eurorack modules: Drum Stereo FX and Stereo DJ VCF. Explore a collection of custom hi-fi delay and reverb effects with the Stereo FX module, featuring an all-new DSP engine, or sculpt your sounds with the Stereo DJ VCF, delivering the distinctive filtering style commonly found on DJ decks. Both modules present a host of new sonic options and are available for purchase now.
Drum Stereo FX
The STEREO FX module brings hi-fi stereo effects into the Erica Synths Drum Series. Based on Erica Synths' new DSP engine, the module provides a wide range of custom delay and reverb effects. CV control over various parameters and the ability to save up to 10 presets will make this module an integral part of any performance rack.

Stereo DJ VCF
As its name suggests, the Erica Synths Stereo DJ VCF module provides sound treatment functionality typically found on DJ decks – it is fully open when the cutoff knob is at 12:00. When turned counter-clockwise, lowpass filtering is applied and when turned clockwise, highpass filtering is initiated. Additionally, there is a nice-sounding, adjustable resonance parameter. This provides hands-on control over the sound during performances as well as unconventional timbre modulations that are hard to achieve with conventional state variable filters.
Features
- Fully analogue stereo DJ-style VCF
- Manual cutoff and resonance control
- Two cutoff CV inputs, one with an attenuverter
Technical specifications
- Audio level 10Vptp
- CV level -10V - +10V
