Erica Synths Black DJ VCF Overview

View this description in Finnish

The Erica Synths Black DJ VCF is a high-end analog voltage-controlled filter module designed to bridge the gap between modular synthesis and DJ'ing. The VCF, like the ones found on the DJ decks, is fully open with the cutoff knob at 12:00- when turned counter-clockwise, the lowpass VCF takes effect, and when turned clockwise, highpass filtering is applied.


Adding resonance to the mix gives you an unconventional timbre modulation effect that is excellent for creating new sonic textures and intensifying your music productions. The Black DJ VCF has a fully analog design, which gives it a unique sound that is not achievable with digital filters.


The Black DJ VCF offers exceptional versatility with its combined LP and HP VCF, which provides incredible control over the cutoff frequency. The module has manual and CV-controlled cutoffs, enabling you to create organic and smooth sounds. Additionally, the manually controlled resonance allows you to add more colour and vibrancy to your music.

Fully analog VCF - inspired by DJs

The Erica Synths Black DJ VCF is a fully analogue voltage-controlled filter (VCF) inspired by how DJs mix and blend frequencies. With this module, you can achieve the same sound treatment capabilities that can typically be found on DJ decks. This module is equipped with two VCFs - a highpass and lowpass filter in series. The Black DJ VCF features a manual resonance control parameter. By adjusting the resonance level manually, you can add a nice-sounding resonance effect to your audio signal. At settings over 1PM, the filter will start to self-oscillate, allowing you to create unique and experimental sounds.

Dial-in your sound

The main control of the module is the Cutoff (CUTOFF) knob. With a twist, you can manually adjust the cutoff frequency of the filter. When the cutoff knob is set to 12:00, the filter is fully open. Turning the knob counter-clockwise applies a lowpass filter, while turning it clockwise initiates a highpass filter. This hands-on control over the sound during performance allows for creative timbre modulations that are challenging to achieve with conventional state variable filters. The module provides an Audio Level (AUDIO LVL) control knob, allowing you to adjust the level of your audio signal. Easily find the right balance and desired output level to suit your needs.

Versatile connection options

Easily connect your audio signal to the module using the Audio In (AUDIO IN) port. Simply patch your audio signal here to start processing it with the Black DJ VCF. The Black DJ VCF offers two cutoff CV inputs, CV1 IN and CV2 IN, for additional control over the cutoff frequency. The CV1 level can be adjusted using the CV1 LEVEL attenuverter knob, while the CV2 input is controlled by the attenuator knob. This flexibility gives you the freedom to shape your sound precisely as desired.

Connect your processed audio signal to an external device using the Output (OUTPUT) port. Additionally, rest assured as the module is equipped with protection against undesired overvoltage, ensuring the safety and longevity of your equipment.
