The Erica Synths Pico Quant, CV Quantizer is an advanced CV quantizer offering quarter-tone accuracy and a web-based interface for creating your own scales. The Pico Quant offers glide and tolerance knobs for controlling the amount of glide between notes. The Erica Synths Pico Quant offers 8 preset scales including chromatic, diatonic, pentatonic and more. The CV Quantizer also features a clock output so it can synchronise with other modules, and it can also work with an external clock signal.
The Pico Quant quantizes control voltage signals from 0 to +10V in the precision of a half or a quarter tone depending on the selected scale. The 'TOLERANCE' knob can be used to adjust the quantizer tolerance, which controls when the module advances to the next CV stage. The more amount added to the tolerance, the more the quantizer will advance to the next note when the incoming CV is very close to the CV of the given note.

If you have an urgent order, please email us at info@signalsounds.eu before placing your order and we'll do our best to accommodate you.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments.
