Black Code Source Random CV Generator

The Erica Synths Black Code Source is a truly unique and powerful random CV and audio generator that brings a touch of digital chaos and unpredictability to the Eurorack world. This module is designed for the adventurous sound designer and electronic musician who wants to explore the realms of generative music, complex modulation, and experimental textures. Using a sophisticated method of calculating polynomials, the Black Code Source generates a wide variety of seemingly random yet musically interesting signals, from fluctuating voltages to a diverse palette of digital noise.

At its heart, the Black Code Source is a dual random CV generator, producing two independent streams of random voltages. The characteristics of these random signals can be shaped and controlled by a set of intuitive parameters, including a "Mode" switch that selects from different polynomial algorithms, and "X," "Y," and "S" controls that further influence the nature of the random generation. This allows for a vast range of random CV behaviors, from smooth and slowly evolving fluctuations to chaotic and rapidly changing values. In addition to its CV generation capabilities, the Black Code Source is also a potent source of digital noise. It offers up to nine different flavors of noise, each with an adjustable pitch. This makes it an incredibly versatile tool for creating a wide array of percussive sounds, drones, and textural elements. The module can also be used as an extreme effects unit, capable of bitcrushing and destroying incoming audio signals in radical ways. With the ability to "rewind" and repeat long sequences of seemingly random levels, it can function like a sample and hold on steroids, creating intricate and evolving patterns.
