Adjust the tune of the VCO manually! 1V/oct CV is added to

the setting of this knob

Adjust waveshape available on the SHAPE output manually!

SHAPE CV is added to the setting of this knob

Three position switch allows you to transpose the pitch of

the VCO one octave up or down

Patch the sequencer or any FM source here

This is Waveshaper CV input. Experiment with different

modulation sources to get drones, rhythmic patterns and

fat analogue sound

This is Waveshaper wave output

This is gentle sounding Triangle wave output

VCO2

is full analogue VCO with built in waveshaper

of unique functionality – it continuously

morphs triangle wave into pulsewave with

adjustable pulse width thus adding harmonics

to the signal on the output. The waveshape is

manually and CV controlled. VCO2 has manually

and CV controlled linear FM for experiments in

FM synthesis.

This is exponential FM attenuator for VCO1

This is linear FM attenuator for VCO2

This is VCA offset knob for manual VCA

control. At 12:00 it closes the VCA

completely, and you can use an envelope

generator to open it. If you wish to achieve

nice tremolo effects with bipolar CV from

the LFO, set the offset knob to 15:00

This is the exponential FM input for VCO1

This is VCA CV input

This is VCA audio input. If you wish to apply

linear FM to the VCO2, patch the FM source

here, and use VCA Offset knob or VCA CV to

control FM depth

This is VCA output. By default it’s connected

to the linear FM input of the VCO2

VCO CONTROLER/VCA

is intended to control FM levels of the VCOs.

It also features VCA that can be used for

manual and CV controlled Linear FM depth

control, but it also can be used as regular DC

coupled VCA for other applications.
