made of an assembled and tested pc board that includes all that is necessary to build a
standard analog synthesizer:

VCO:

Sawtooth output

Rectangle output (with variable pulse width)

Four frequency CV inputs (1V/Oct)

Summing frequency CV input (to extend the number of CV inputs)

Two PW/PWM CV inputs

Summing PW/PWM input (to extend the number of PW/PWM CV inputs)

Linear FM input

Hard sync input

VCF:

Multimode filter

lowpass, highpass and bandpass output (optional low-notch-highpass with external
potentiometer)

12dB/oct slope

Two frequency CV inputs

Summing frequency CV input (to extend the number of CV inputs)

Audio inputs

Summing audio input (to extend the number of audio inputs)

Manual resonance control
