Description
A compact triangle core VCO in 6 HP, with sine, triangle, saw and pulse outputs running at once.
Key features
- A 7-position octave switch replaces the coarse frequency knob; with a perfect fifth transposition switch and factory pitch tuning, centring the fine knob tunes it to C
- Two precision volt per octave inputs for pitch sequencing, exponential FM or transposition, the pair acting as a built-in adder
- A reset input for hard sync, and a low frequency (LFO) range
- The vari-wave output morphs smoothly from sine through triangle, saw and square to a very narrow pulse, under its knob and a control voltage up to audio rate
- An LED shows the vari-wave level
