Birdkids: The Bateleur VCO Other/unknown Eurorack

Discrete core oscillator and filter

Engineered around a discrete Core ​with a dedicated, self-oscillating 4-pole Filter
this VCO offers state-of-the-art performance with unparalleled timbre and signal-shaping possibilities.
An incredible amount of innovation went into designing a discrete Core capable of temperature stabilisation while retaining the unique sonic DNA and tonal capabilities of 100% analog voltage controlled circuitry. The resulting design - elegant despite inherent complexity is also considerably less noisy and less susceptible to temperature drift than it’s vintage forefathers.
The VCO’s output is perceived by the human ear as extremely harmonically rich with minute variations in frequency and pleasant harmonic distortion. Throughout the design and development process we were free to experiment with any imaginable set of features focusing on a discrete Core with a distinctive sound. The result: a VCO that is unlike any other in the sense that it is a self-sufficient, self-contained unique voice​with an astonishing 4-pole Filter and complex signal-shaping circuitry - yet can be integrated into any configuration - be it in a standalone or modular fashion.
At the center of the signal-flow is a dedicated, self-oscillating, voltage controlled 4-pole Filter tracking 1V/Oct​. The Filter is one of the principal parts of THE BATELEUR​ VCO​, allowing timbral control over the fundamental Waveforms and external signals however at the same time also an eccentric standalone voice in its own right once in the self-oscillation ◉ position.
And what would a VCO be without wave-shaping qualities? Our FMM​® - Frequency Modulation Melodic circuit gives an entirely new perspective on the concept of Frequency Modulation. It’s more like a dedicated FX unit - literally at the flick of a switch.
The VCO has 5 Frequency ranges​with a 5V-span per​range, +/- 7 Semitone Fine-tuning, Portamento Glide​, dual Frequency Modulation​, Pulse-Width Modulation and Filter Cutoff Modulation​allowing unprecedented control over signal-shaping and limitless tonal variety.
The entire interface is streamlined for intuitive operation and maximum efficiency with large, distinctive, performance-friendly knobs and dichromatic labelling making it both a player’s instrument​and studio workhorse​.
