Dual VCO/LFO & Random

This module is now replaced by the MKII version which retains ALL the features of the original
You can therefore watch all the videos and read all the comments of the first version knowing that you will find all in the upgraded MKII.

The driving idea behind the Twin waves voltage-controlled dual oscillator/LFO is to offer two interesting oscillators in a skiff-friendly and compact size. To achieve that challenge, we built the product’s architecture on the concept of pre-defined algorithms, where the most useful configurations and their matching parameter are ready to use.

Two oscillators independently set as VCO or LFO
Features in VCO mode:
- V/Oct tracking over 10 octaves
- Through zero and linear FM
- Sub-octave output
- Hard & soft synchronization
- VCA control and CV algorithms selection
- Quantizer with various scales
- 20 algorithm-based synthesis to choose among:
  > Waveshaping
  > Phase modulation
  > Phase positioning of multiple waves
  > 5 stacked oscillators in tunable unison
  > Self-sync with phantom oscillator
  > Additive synthesis (7 waves)
  > Variable bit reduction (bit-crushing)
  > Ring modulator with its own 2nd oscillator
  > Noise with LPF, BPF, or resonant filter
Features in LFO mode:
- Simultaneous signal and trigger outputs
- Wave synchronization
- Clock controlled rate with CV-controlled multiplier and divider
- CV and knob control of output level
- Algorithm based wave engine with a selection of:
  > Waveshaping
  > Phase modulation
  > Random levels and vectors (also Brownian)
  > Randomly spaced triggers and stretched waves
