Description
Complex oscillators traditionally comprise of two VCOs used to generate complex waveforms. The classic configuration uses an arrangement of modulator -> carrier. Use of wavefolders enhance the timbre complexity to a ‘final’ output.
The Cš-L takes this tried and tested configuration, but blurs the lines of which voice is the carrier and which is the modulator. They can be either or both simultaneously! Each Oscillator has it’s own unique characteristics and perks, down their core circuits.
There is a wavefolder per oscillator, giving the Cš-L two entirely separate ‘final’ outputs.
Oscillator A (Top) is a sawtooth core VCO which produces sine, triangle, sawtooth and pulse outputs.
The pulse is a classic variable duty cycle waveform. The LFO button will insert a negative DC offset to the oscillator’s frequency control. This reduces the range into LFO territories. The SYNC input hard syncs the oscillator’s waveforms which allows for classic hard sync tones when running at audio rate. In LFO mode the sync input can be used to force waveform resets. Very useful when clocking LFO patterns.
Oscillator B (Bottom) is a triangle core VCO. It has a slightly different set of waveforms to A: sine, triangle, square/sub and a double pulse with variable centre pulse width. The SUB output can generate a square wave at the oscillator’s fundamental frequency, 1 octave below, or 2 octaves below. The button switches the octave and illuminates to identify the current sub state.
