Ericasynths Pico System III
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hi folks,</p> <p>First post here, finally feel like I'm going to step into the world of Eurorack.</p> <p>I've got a couple of ideas for starting my first case but wanted to see if anyone has advice relating to the Ericasynths Pico System III. I have experience with regular synthesisers, but not modular.</p> <p>This system can be bought as a 42HP module, so my thinking is that I could buy one as my first module and become more comfortable with modular. It has VCOs, a sequencer, envelopes and all sorts of other functions so would probably be very educational and keep me entertained until I'm ready to purchase new modules.</p> <p>As I expand my rack, the Pico would stay in my case and take care of various functions I otherwise wouldn't get if I was to just start buying standard modules.</p> <p>Alternatively, I could go the standard route by planning a rack and slowly buying each module. Is this maybe a better way of understanding each module - as I wouldn't have the security of the Pico to take care of functions I don't yet have?</p> <p>I guess my question is this:</p> <p>Would buying the Pico first be:</p> <p>A. Educational and forward compatible, a good way into modular or,</p> <p>B. A hinderance by giving me too many functions at once and perhaps not as useful down the line?</p> <p>Any other tips for a beginner are much appreciated
</p> <p>Thanks!</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/tommygunlungfish"> /u/tommygunlungfish </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/modular/comments/lkaoaq/ericasynths_pico_system_iii/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/modular/comments/lkaoaq/ericasynths_pico_system_iii/">[comments]</a></span>
