Make Noise STO - Manual (Page 4)

Overview:
The STO is a compact Voltage Controlled Oscillator designed for generating SINE waves,
Variable wave-Shapes, Sub-Octaves, Oscillator SYNC and Linear FM in the analog domain.
The Sub-Timbral Oscillator is the more subtle and melodic friend to the DPO's complex har-
monic lattice. The STO will yield harmonically rich textures through the use of Hard Sync,
Linear FM and Variable Shape, but this VCO seems destined for melody.
The STO uses a Triangle Core and has outputs for SINE, SUB and Variable Shape. The
SINE is shaped from the Triangle using the same circuit used on the DPO. The Sub-Oscilla-
tor has its own gate input that lets the user turn it on/ off at will. The Variable SHAPE ripples
both Even and Odd Harmonics resulting subtle timbral shifts where the fundamental frequen-
cy is never masked. When combined with the Sub-Oscillator output (at the input of the MMG,
for example) this makes for a rich, strong melodic voice.
The STO is a 100% analog musical instrument that is not suitable for laboratory use.
