Mini 16 Waveform VCO w/Envelope+VCA+Quantizing
This tiny and unique VCO blurs the established lines between digital and analog VCO's having a unique sound and features which sets it apart from any other.
The SDS_VCO is 3HP, has a built-in envelope generator with Attack, Decay/Sustain, Release and analog VCA, dimmed VU meter, and 16 CV selectable / offsettable waveforms:
0 Sine
1 Triangle
2 Sawtooth Up
3 Sawtooth Down
4 Square
5 PWM Pulse
6 Noise
7 Double Sine
8 Sine+Triangle
9 Sine+Harmonics
10 Sine+Square
11 Sine+PWM
12 Triangle+Noise
13 Custom 1 (manual knobs)
14 Custom 2 (manual knobs)
15 Custom 3 (manual knobs+Audio wave recorder)
There is also a built-in Quantizer with 16 scales (including no quantizing) and Root Key + CV offset via the MOD input.
The MOD CV commonly modulates different aspects depending on the selected waveform, pulse-width, mix, noise, or phase variation.
MOD CV can also be turned on to be an offset to Envelope attack and/or decay, and/or 16 semi-tone key offset, and/or a waveform selector.
Continuous recording of the MOD CV input will use the last 3 seconds when MOD function is switched to be something else (i.e. CV select Waves or Quantization key offset, attack, decay control), so the modulation will continue. The ends are matched & stitched for smooth transition
Of the 3 custom waveforms, drawn by tweaking two knobs, one can be directly recorded to. These custom waveforms, as well as all settings are saved for the next power-up.
Another feature is the +1 Octave switch and a 0-15 root key offset for zero volts. i.e. If you want "A" to be at zero volts, or "C".
An optional CV->MIDI interface board can be added for $20 (including patch to standard MIDI jack). This will play MIDI notes on any MIDI channel in sync with notes playing on the VCO, so can simply be a CV/Gate to MIDI note converter.
Future Firmware updates easily using audio mp3 file from browser, iphone, mp3 player etc.
New: Planned Firmware alternates!
Now available for download: 16 drum percussion kit (digitally generated percussion kick, snare, hats, bells) each with parameter controls.
These Firmware's Coming soon!
Turn your SDS_VCO into a wave-rider (uses MOD input to pan through a special multi-faceted waveform)
Turn your SDS_VCO into a MIDI controller with control over 8 programmable instruments and 3 MIDI CC's incl.Pitchwheel for each *requires the MIDI expansion installed.
Turn your SDS_VCO into a distortion/flanger/crusher module with programmable presets, modulator CV, & control gate.!
