Inside: Erica Synths (EB.TV Feature)

Erica Synths is behind a huge number of beloved Eurorack module offerings, not to mention its famous Fusionbox and Acidbox units, and we popped over to its Latvian HQ for the latest instalment of ‘Inside’ on Telekom Electronic Beats TV.
Discover the history and philosophy of this dynamic company, the passion that informs their cherished synth modules, plus the exciting reveal we can look forward to standalone synthesizers from the company in the near future.
BONUS: For all the hardware enthusiasts out there, two extra performances were captured during the Erica Synths visit showing Latvian artists putting the Erica gear through its paces.

LATVIA! Really proud that we have Erica Synths here.

[@BasariStudios]

I have not come across a better tech support from any company than Erica Synths. These guys and their products are amazing.

[@onpatrolforthejuice]

Definitely one of my favorite companies ever. It would be a dream come true to be able to work for them.

[@JohnLRice]

Excellent video about the nice people of Erica Synths, I love their modules! :-)

[@inf0tr8r]

my fav eurorack company

[@turfoid7899]

Im super passionate about this company. Seeing their passion has made me extremly exited about the future of music technology. They really care and it shows

[@UserName________]

Making Latvia Great Again.

[@silvermyth2119]

Bravo👍 Erica Synths, I love the high quality. Keep up the great work!👍👑❤️👏😎

[@glooms691]

this guy solders like a pro, look at that style!

[@Stue007]

Top products - I have a lot of the modules in my modular system and use them heavily! Super sympathetic company...

[@richreaves1792]

What a great guy and team. Awesome spirit.

[@bootshausk39]

Erica, XAOC, Bastl, Polyend. Great to see so much good stuff from Eastern Europe. TY

[@richardharrow1946]

Don’t forget soma

[@malcolmbliss777]

Erica, Soma, Bastl and Teenage Engineering are my fave four at the moment (this year?) - these four entities made the pandemic bearable. Especially after losing my band, my business, my best friend (Suicide last month) and my Mother (COVID last year). I can honestly attest… Without the Erica DB-01, I don’t know how my life would’ve played out these last 18 months.

[@rosspalumbo]

Bravo Telekom! Amazing company and amazing video. Best to the future of Erica Synths!

[@Kablehead]

I love Erica Synths!

[@SvintMvrcus]

I’ve never dabbled in modular synths before but when I do I’m putting most of my money towards Erica synths. I love the raw sounds you get from these modules

[@8bitDude0]

Much love for Erica synths! They’re on the front line for sonic experimentation

[@valdiskrebs566]

Apsveicu! Great hardware! Sponsoring/collaborating with local electronic musicians is key for product innovation. Erica Synths is one of the hidden successes of post-Soviet Latvia (more popular around the world than in their home town) . Eagerly awaiting that stand-alone synth!!!

[@SynthCat_Miniature_Games]

I fall in love with Erica Synths more and more every day.

[@amadeuspaulussen]

Love Erica Synths a lot! Great video as well! ❤️ ❤️

[@donkeyfacekilla1]

Wow! Excellent video, love the passion from this company! Will definitely be buying from them!

[@cuba1956]

Fantastic! Great team, great modules! Go 🇱🇻!

[@setphaser]

love these guys sooooo much!

[@fabishakenbake1971]

Pure talent! He tells it like like everybody could do this easily.

[@fecktoph]

love your work !

[@jimmy_jamesjams_a_lot4171]

THANK YOU, Erica Synths! Thanks for your MADMAN’s dedication to your passion for Synths!

[@bLiNdEDM]

Excited to grab their stuff to make techno samples and tracks

[@ProckGnosis]

Good guy. Met him at Messe in 2014, and I'm glad to see they've only grown since.

[@malcolmbliss777]

Such an awesome story. I love your db01!

[@seanspartan2023]

I 💗 Erica Synths. Hopefully someday I'll be able to buy the travel case and a complete Pico system for synthesis on the go.

[@illulbininjadusk]

I want them all.

[@Digiphex]

I have the Pico System 2 and love it stand alone but also enjoy the utility of all those modules with my larger system. Definitely will get their new 909 style seq.

[@MODERNDAYROCKERS]

great to hear the story and love the sound keep up the good work

[@colorgasm]

youre the best guys. the community loves you. i need the drum sequencer & kick now! see you at superbooth 2018

[@tao8365]

Seems like a nice little company. Love to see one of these on Sequentix and the Cirklon. Its the most wanted machine in techno if not electronic music in the past few years with a wait list of a year or longer to get one. Such an amazing machine and great little company. And they just moved to Berlin last year too. Hope you can make it happen.

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

The Sequentix guy seems really shy. He never replied to our request so it don‘t look like something will happen. Next one will be Verbos Electronics which is done already.

[@tao8365]

Don't give up. He is a bit of a mad genius but quite modest and it takes a bit for them to get reply on things. I guess it will just have to stay underground. Word of mouth like a good techno party. He might be at SuperBooth tho.

[@IRONIXX]

Super! Ļoti lepojos par Jums. Ar nepacietību gaidu standalone :).

[@optimal4900]

Great video, thanks for it..

[@bobfrode]

extremely cool and innovative. The streaming garage is a strike of genious. What better place to do promotion of their own gear :) (if i only could afford to be in the modular world...)

[@RobertMaxwellMediaCorp]

These guys are the real deal! Very inspiring

[@pika-d]

I'm using the Pico system II here. It's very fun!

[@Scyber_Official]

The best mod synth company hands down. Check out Kodekkk's music if you're into some crazy stuff. His breakcore is head spinning.

[@neuzethmusic131]

Very nice vid! I dig this company! Funny thing is, I wanted a Make Noise case and ended up with an Erica Synths case.... I think the relation of quality and price is really good with Erica Synths. And I dig that that the company is form Latvia and not the typical USA or Germany...

[@devmiles]

Fantastic company

[@AnxiousCowboy]

I find more and more Erica Synth modules are finding their way into my rack. Cannot beat the functionality versus affordability and now i am happy to know Girts keeps as much of his process within his country. I think the Garage Project is really cool and Kodek might be my favorite DJ and personality to follow online but it would be very cool if it was less of an individual performance piece with single visual backdrop and made it in a more personable space with maybe an invite-only type crowd hanging out something in between the garage and the club...... and even do it more often; invite peeps who love Erica to do a set Make Baseck do it.. Also I volunteer to fill an invite spot and party with the Erica Synth crew.

[@chemicalBR0]

this video was fascinating. I've got more Erica modules in my rig than any other company. (out of 34 modules, 11 of them are Erica) the build quality, functionality and design/look of their modules really appeals to me. (If i could every module in my case would be black :) keep going Girts, the stuff you are producing is only getting better... can't wait to get my hands on the new drum sequencer. are you guys still planning on making extra roms for the blackhole DSP? also, please give Tuna the cat a big hug from me ;)

[@Backpacker1969]

Yay Latvia!

[@LegijatMN]

Amazing ...

[@stensarapson2378]

Well done neighbours!. Best of all

[@floriantwitt2133]

Nice feature. Thanks! You should make one with Olivier from Mutable Instruments too. :)

[@arieltavaresgrilo5479]

You rocks, guys!

[@burgercat369]

[@dannyferreira5889]

While studying electrical engineering, this is exactly what I want to do later on...

[@pablospace]

😍

[@temporoboto]

💙💙

[@JX-B]

Cepuri nost !!!

[@MartinYamMoller]

This is an interesting episode....end is a little weird though. No credits or outro. Is the edit done?

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

Credits, Outro, what do you wanna know? We never have credits at the end.

[@MartinYamMoller]

Telekom Electronic Beats i dunno...maybe im just being old fashioned. But guests names, producer, editor, camera dude and sound recorder. Music artists and the tracks used. Anyway.... Keep up the good work, whoever you guys are.👍🙏🍺

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

Really old fashioned :-) Most people even don't watch YT videos until the end. Like 99% of all videos here on this channel the video is produced by Sense Music & Media GmbH in Berlin. Music provided by Erica Synths.

[@MartinYamMoller]

Nice to know

[@KarpralisLup]

they also have a goth girl manufacturing the modules

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

Very important information 🤔

[@leonarddelank4453]

So there is going to be a „Drums2“?!🌚

[@jimmy_jamesjams_a_lot4171]

I paused the film at 2:38; and what’s shown is a module definitely different from my pick ‘drums’ module. Panel shows dials labeled Tune Param CV and Decay, with cv ins for Param cv and Tune cv, then a trig in, and out, but I can’t tell if there’s a button next to the red LED, but I’m sure there’s word coming, maybe a ‘drumCV’ module that could be an expansion to my drums, to add decay, EG and VCA may be more appropriate for the 3hp form factor? I only just found out today that module can modify the sample’s pitch already?!!

[@mikebass8881]

молодцы

[@sqwk1492]

Tuna the cat :)

[@quavergonzalez4710]

Does anyone know what the tune at 5:04 is?

[@nicholasroos3627]

erica standalone synths w/ fatar keybed.... drool.....

[@bartmark5744]

standalone synths ? any more info ? WHEN ?? ...

[@hamishmacdonald8593]

Look at the Pico system

[@Crypto2638]

It’s insane how they’re growing. Look at it now, they are making super synths and modules

[@ewanharlamov]

anyone knows track from 5:03?

[@ewanharlamov]

thank you

[@saletakac]

don't see the answer !?

[@UserName________]

It’s not a track - it’s live music

[@r3r3]

hot glue noooo

[@user-th6rh8zp3t]

r3r3 surely he knows what he’s doing

[@Sinevibes]

Yeah okay... but who is Erica? :-)

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

Alice's sister

[@Sinevibes]

I see what you did there! :-)
