Pico Drum2

The Erica Synths Pico Drum2 is a compact yet remarkably versatile percussion synthesizer that packs a huge punch in just 3HP. This module is a complete drum voice, featuring eight distinct percussion synthesis algorithms designed to cover a wide range of sounds. From deep, booming bass drums and tight, punchy snares to clicks, claps, and experimental digital noises, the Pico Drum2 is a flexible and inspiring source of percussive sounds for any Eurorack system.

Each of the eight algorithms provides a unique sonic foundation, which can then be sculpted using three parameters. These parameters are intelligently mapped for each algorithm, giving you intuitive and meaningful control over the sound. All three parameters, as well as the algorithm selection itself, can be controlled via a single assignable CV input. This powerful feature allows for complex and evolving drum patterns where the timbre and even the entire drum sound can be modulated from a single CV source. Furthermore, the module accurately tracks 1V/octave, enabling it to be used as a characterful melodic oscillator.

The Pico Drum2 is a testament to the Erica Synths Pico series philosophy: maximum functionality in minimum space. It's a perfect solution for building a compact drum machine within your Eurorack case, or for adding a wide range of percussive flavors to a larger system. Its ability to produce such a diverse array of sounds, combined with its deep modulation capabilities, makes the Pico Drum2 a surprisingly powerful tool for creative rhythm programming and sound design.
