Black Modulator V2

The Erica Synths Black Modulator V2 is a versatile and powerful modulation and noise source that serves as a central hub for creating complex and evolving sounds in a Eurorack system. This all-in-one module combines a feature-rich LFO/audio-rate oscillator, a multi-flavored noise generator, and a clockable sample and hold circuit into a single, compact package. With its extensive functionality and intuitive layout, the Black Modulator V2 is an essential tool for any modular artist who wants to add a wide range of dynamic and textural elements to their music.

The core of the Black Modulator V2 is its LFO, which can operate at both sub-audio and audio frequencies. It provides three simultaneous waveform outputs—sine, triangle, and pulse—allowing you to send different modulation signals to multiple destinations at once. The LFO's frequency can be controlled manually and with CV, and it also features a sync input for locking it to an external clock. This makes it incredibly versatile for everything from slow, sweeping filter changes to audio-rate frequency modulation effects. The noise generator section of the Black Modulator V2 is based on a Zener diode, which produces a true analog noise source. It offers three different flavors of noise—white, pink, and brown—each with its own distinct character and frequency content. This makes it a great source for creating percussive sounds, drones, and textural beds. The module also includes a clockable sample and hold circuit, which can be used to create classic random voltage patterns, as well as more complex and rhythmic modulation signals. With its comprehensive feature set and high-quality analog circuitry, the Black Modulator V2 is a true workhorse of a module that will quickly become an indispensable part of any modular setup.
