Precision Thru-Zero Oscillator

A legion of waveforms await. Endless possibilities ahead.

Legion is a new breed of analog oscillator with tons of individual waveform outputs, a host of useful CV inputs, and a few never-been-done-before analog tricks.

First off, this oscilator means precision. Built-in digital calibration means once you tune, you'll stay in tune. The tune knob itself can be switched between a fine and coarse mode, and can be locked out to protect against unintentional movement during a performance. It also features octave switches for quick movement between registers.

Power in pairs. Legion is great on it's own but thrives when it has a twin sibling in the case. Through-zero linear FM keeps your fundamental in-tact while modulating it with another oscillator and onboard attenuator lets you dial in the amount. Stay in-tune while adding harmonic content with the classic technique. A separate exponential FM input with corellating attenuator allows for simultaneous "wobble" or could be used for more traditional FM effects, when that is desired and the easy tuning makes for lush. consistent FM sounds in a flash.

The Alpha in the pack. In addition to the traditional waveforms commonly found in analog oscillators, Legion has a unique saw wave section. Inspired by the oscillator in the Alpha Juno synthesizer, we've added what we call "windows" to the saw wave output. A window is essentially a negative pulse in the center of the saw wave, creating a buzzy overtone to the classic waveforms sound. Use the switch to add more windows, creating a more complex high end. Now, use pulse width modulation to really bring this effect to life by increasing and decreasing the size of the windows with an external CV source such as an LFO.

“The sting of the bee is worst in a swarm.”

In addition to the above, Legion also has an output called Swarm, which is essentially an analog supersaw. Yes, analog supersaw, which to our knowledge, is a first. For this output, we start with a saw wave and then use digital LFOs to modulate the phase of multiple reset points within the original. What this does is create the illusion of multiple signals being stacked on top of eachother, slighty going in and out of tune with eachother. Control the intensity of the unison effect with the detune knob, and switch on up to 7 individual and out-of-phase LFOs with the Timbre switch for a powerful, detuned supersaw effect that remains 100% analog.
