VCO 6HP
Details
Introduction
VCO is a single VCO laid out in a similar way to the VCO section you would find on a monosynth. VCO includes a glide (slew) function, so this is a great bonus. The VCO can go down to low frequencies so they can be used as an LFO.
Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs) in general
The VCO or signal generator, commonly found on most music synthesizers consist of an exponential amplifier, a resetable integrator and waveshaping circuitry. ‘Voltage Controlled Oscillator’ means an oscillator whose frequency can be controlled by an external voltage.
A VCO is responisble for the pitch of a sound and its basic timbre. Most VCOs will offer a variety of wave forms. Some VCOs offer the facility to alter the pulse width of a square wave either manually or with a voltage (pulse width modulation).
Controls In Detail
Tune
The VCO has a wide ranging tune control. Turning Tune alters the basic pitch of the oscillator.
Glide
Turning up Glide adds portamento to the oscillator, so the pitch will bend (slide) up or down to each note (as opposed to a sudden change). The higher the setting, the longer the oscillator takes to reach its new note. Not many VCO modules give you the all important Glide control as standard!
Pulse Width
You can alter the pulse width (duty cycle) of the square wave. Turning this gives a sound similar to chorusing. In the centre position a square wave is produced.
Sawtooth Level
This sets the output volume of the sawtooth waveform output.
Square Level
This sets the output volume of the square waveform output.
