Vermona Modular Dock
The Modular Dock is a Eurorack extension for Vermona’s Mono Lancet and Mono Lancet ’15, designed to route the VCOs, VCF, and VCA from those synths to the outside world and expand their functionality within a modular system. It enables cross-modulation, pulsewidth and amplitude modulation, and offers additional modulation and external integration options to broaden the sound palette. With Modular Dock, you can extend the Mono Lancet’s sound engine by adding external VCAs, the fourMulator, VCDrive, or modules from other manufacturers, creating new sonic possibilities. The module acts as a bridge between Vermona’s compact core and a Eurorack setup, making it a potential starting point for modular exploration or a substantial upgrade to an existing system. Typical use scenarios include pairing the Dock with Mono Lancet ’15 to learn its new modulation capabilities, or using it to sculpt external sources through the Mono Lancet’s filter and envelopes. It supports inputs for FM and PWM on both VCOs, a VCF input, CV and VCA control, and 1V/octave CV and gate for the VCOs, along with dedicated outputs for VCOs and a 1V/Octave CV.
