Erica Synths Black Digital Noise

Polynomial-noise generator.

12 HP Eurorack module

Noise module producing a wide range of effects, from almost pure white noise and Atari-console-like one-bit noise to more-or-less predictable sounds.

Features

  • A programmable logic matrix uses two linear-feedback shift registers to generate polynomial-noise effects.
  • The two polynomial controls select four feedback segments each for 16 variations; a segment can sound different when re-entered because the polynomials shift within it.
  • Patching External Clock Input disconnects the internal clock.
  • Reset Input resets the polynomials from pulse, random-gate, audio, and similar signals.

Controls & Jacks (10)

  • Poly CV 2— Applies the second polynomial-feedback control voltage, up to ±10 V.
  • Noise Output— Noise audio output.
  • Polynomial 2— Selects one of four polynomial-feedback segments; together with Polynomial 1, provides 16 segment combinations.
  • External Clock Input— External clock input; patching a VCO or other signal disconnects the internal clock and makes the noise character follow its frequency.
  • Polynomial 1— Selects one of four polynomial-feedback segments.
  • Clock Rate— Sets the noise character with the internal clock, from very grainy noise fully counterclockwise to white noise fully clockwise.
  • Bit Width— Selects the noise bit width from 1-bit Atari-console-like noise to 4-bit noise.
  • Poly CV Attenuator— Sets and attenuates both polynomial-feedback CV inputs simultaneously.
  • Reset Input— Resets the polynomials from an incoming pulse, gate, random, or audio signal.
  • Poly CV 1— Applies the first polynomial-feedback control voltage, up to ±10 V.
