  • Fine tune with 10 turn precision pot approximately 1 octave
  • Coarse tune approximately 10 octaves
  • V/Oct input
  • Exponential modulation
  • Linear modulation
  • Linear detune
  • LFO mode
  • Sync – CV variable soft to hard sync with external “carrier “ wave input, falling/rising edge sync
  • VCO core resetting with a gate signal
  • One oscillator and one sub oscillator an octave lower per module, each with saw, inverted saw, triangle, rectangle and sinusoidal wave.
  • Independent CV PWM with saw, triangle, and inverted saw “carrier” wave options for both the oscillator and sub oscillator

Functions:

  1. Just imagine a combo of 4 of these beasts alone would be enough with a couple filters, envelopes and lfos. Could be a mad beast full synth

    Nice product
