The Erica Synths Pico Trigger is a versatile Eurorack module designed for electronic musicians seeking precise rhythmic control and pattern generation. It serves as a master clock for the Pico System and can generate up to 16 step patterns with 4 trigger outputs, offering simple clock division and complex polyrhythmic sequences for drum triggering and four-track sequencing. A key benefit is its ability to create intricate polyrhythms and upload patterns via its CLK input. A potential caveat is that pattern creation relies on a web interface, requiring an initial setup process.

The primary function is to act as a master clock and generate up to 16-step trigger patterns, including complex polyrhythms, for drum machines and sequencers within a Eurorack system.
Patterns are created using a web-based interface accessible via a browser. Once designed, they are uploaded to the module by sending a clock signal to the CLK input while the interface is active.
Yes, the Pico Trigger supports both an internal clock and external clock sources, allowing it to sync with other modular gear.
The module has a memory for 8 different patterns that can be stored and recalled.
It can generate simple clock divider patterns as well as advanced polyrhythmic patterns with different step lengths.
Polyrhythmic patterns allow you to layer rhythms that don't neatly divide into each other, creating more complex, evolving, and interesting rhythmic textures.
As a Eurorack module, it requires power from a Eurorack case's power distribution system, not a separate external power adapter.
Ensure the Eurorack power cable is correctly seated on both the module and the power distribution board in your case. Verify that the power supply is adequate for your system.
Check that a clock source (internal or external) is active and sending a signal. Verify that patterns have been successfully uploaded and selected. Ensure trigger outputs are connected to the intended modules.
Confirm that the clock signal sent to the `CLK IN` jack during upload is stable and at the correct voltage level. Ensure the web interface is correctly configured to send pattern data. Try a different clock source for uploading.
Verify the external clock source is sending a compatible Eurorack clock signal. Check the cable connection. Make sure the module is set to use the external clock input.
Check the 'Adjustable Shuffle' setting. Ensure the clock division or polyrhythmic settings are as intended. Restart the module and re-upload patterns if necessary.
Setup: The Pico Trigger is a Eurorack module and requires a compatible Eurorack case with a power supply. Connect it to your case's power distribution using a standard Eurorack power cable. Connect your external clock source (if used) to the `CLK IN` jack, and drums or other triggerable modules to the `TRIG 1-4` outputs. To upload patterns, connect a clock source (e.g., another module or a computer audio interface sending a clock signal) to the `CLK IN` jack while the web interface is active and the pattern data is being sent.
Compatibility: This module is compatible with any standard Eurorack system. The clock input and output adhere to Eurorack standards. The web-based pattern design interface is accessible from any device with a web browser and an internet connection (for initial access to the interface, though pattern creation can be done offline once loaded).
Care: Keep the module clean and free from dust and excessive moisture. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth for cleaning the front panel; avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure proper ventilation within your Eurorack case to prevent overheating. Always power down your Eurorack system before connecting or disconnecting modules or power cables.
