Product Description
This module contains two double triodes in bistable latch connection that act as suboscillators: -1 and -2 octaves with plenty of mixing opportunities for amazing sonic results. External audio signal can replace internal VCO. If you wish to go for really low frequencies and have a sound that sets your modular system apart from others – this is exactly the module, you need!
All Fusion modules by default are configured to work with regular eurorack PSU.
Due to the fact that cold tube heaters have lower resistance, Fusion modules have significant power consumption peak at startup, when power consumption almost doubles for 1-2 seconds. This is not a problem with linear PSUs that have power inertia, but may cause switching PSU internal protection turn off the power supply. Please make sure your PSU has some headroom before installing multiple Fusion modules.
Would I build a setup around valve modules? I was expecting to say no, but having spent time with the Fusion setup I’m surprised to say I actually would. It’s distinctive, it’s versatile, but more importantly it’s fun. Music has always been about philosophies and aesthetic choices; Erica understand that and offer something fantastically different with the Fusion series. These are not sterile, surgical tools. Far from it. And they’re all the better for that. - Attack Magazine

FAQ
My Fusion VCO’s 1V/Oct input is not tracking incoming CV signals correctly, it tracks only the highest notes from the sequencer/keyboard. What should I do?
If the VCO tracks notes only above C4 or higher, please, make sure that the FREQUENCY knob is all way counter-clockwise, because this knob defines the lowest frequency you can get from the VCO.
My Fusion VCO’s 1V/Oct input is not tracking incoming CV signals correctly, it tracks only the highest notes from the sequencer/keyboard, but sounds which come from the VCO are pretty low. What should I do?
Please, make sure if your device’s output signal is unipolar (from 0V to +10V) because the Fusion VCO’s 1V/Oct input is intended to track only positive CV signals.
In case your device has a bipolar output signal (from -5V to +5V), we recommend you to use the Pico MScale: the upper part of this module adds +5V offset, so the signal from sequencer, which gives values from -5V to +5V for 1V/Oct, transforms into a signal which is compatible to the Fusion VCO.

I can't calibrate the 1v/ oct input with the instructions in the users manual.
Apologies- there is a mistake in the manual.
Process is like this. You press and hold calibration button on the back while powering up your module.
Then you give 1v to 1v/oct-> then press calib. button again-> then give 5 v to 1v/oct and press calib. button again.
Now your module should be calibrated.
