Erica Synths turns up the pressure with the Das Kleine Fusion Eurorack modular synth
A smaller and “more economical” version of the Fusion System II
Billed as the younger sibling of the Fusion System II, Erica Synths’ new Das Kleine Fusion is a vacuum tube-based Eurorack modular synth “for sounds of unprecedented pressure”.
It’s designed to be used with external effects - hence the omission of the Fusion Delay module. This has the added benefit of making the system more compact and affordable.
What you do get are two Fusion VCO2s, a Fusion VCF3, a Fusion Modulator and a Fusion VCA/Waveshaper/Ringmodulator, all packed into an 84HP One Row Skiff case and shipping with 20 patch cables.
Das Kleine Fusion is available now priced at €1,600. Find out more on the Erica Synths website.
