Modular synthesizer enthusiasts looking for a classic phaser effect will appreciate the erica synths Black K-Phaser, a Eurorack module that pays tribute to the German electronic music pioneers that largely shaped the sound of electronic music worldwide.
The Black K-Phaser utilizes the original design with 8 all-pass filters with photoresistors, but with redesigned filters and modulation circuit, plus other unique features. A DIP switch at the rear of the module allows for selecting the number of filter stages involved in the resonance path, a resonance attenuverter brings in unusual feedback artefacts, and Spread mode detunes the all-pass filters for even more distinct behavior.
A built-in voltage-controlled LFO with selectable waveforms expands modulation possibilities for the phaser and can be used as an independent modulation source for your modular system as well. The module includes a power ribbon cable and a set of mounting screws.
- 8 all-pass filters with photoresistor control
- Classic and Spread (filter detune) modes
- Resonance attenuverter
- Selectable resonance path (DIP switch on rear of module)
- Built in VC LFO with a dedicated output
- Wet output
- Power consumption: +88mA / -78mA
- Module depth: 1.4 / 35mm
