The FM on this inspired me to patch a VCO into another VCO on my modular, and set it to wide range (0.3-25Khz). Then adding an LFO to sweep the frequency and get crazy FM. Then sending that through the Comb filter w/ half resonance for added destruction. Then out through a reverb and delay unit..scariest frickin sound I've ever made :D Thanks, marc!
Also, that trigger switch already needs cleaning, since it's producing double triggering occasionally when quickly released... Maybe a "de-bounce" circuit could be added ?
Nice. But from a standpoint of being and educational tool, the lowest frequency of the modulation should reflect exactly the waveform selected, so that synthesizer neophytes could hear in "slo-mo" what that waveform does to the pitch of the oscillator section. If Dr. Moog were alive, I'm convinced he would have the case opened by now trying to correct this minor glitch...
@AutomaticGainsay Once the knob is up to about "9:00", it sounds correct... probably something to do with how the electronic circuitry tries to hold and release a charge in a certain way. Also, I quite like the idea of "listen" buttons at each stage. That might not be a bad idea for other (not just "educational") synths to incorporate!
That thing is so awesome. I wish I had more time to play with it at Moogfest. Such a wonderful teaching tool and you can make some fun sci-fi sounds with it too.
you're using my audio interface! :O :D or looks like....

Weirdest looking synth I have seen in a while. I like it very much.

If only my modular had a save button, alas....

Mark, thanks for that I found it really interesting

That... is a very big machine for a one-osc monosynth! Mind you, anything painted with metalwork paint that makes nice analog noises is fine with me.

I love the sounds at 3:53 so much. Holy hell, it's amazing.

The LFO seems to have a weird shape at the lowest frequency, i.e. not quite the waveform it's claiming to be.

@acousvnt Yes, it's true. I don't know why it is, but I kind of liked it.

It would be so awesome if there was a virtual one of these I could mess with.

Ugh, I didn't mean to link to the nine minute mark in the video... I was just talking about a knob position!

Very cool synth - and a great review. I'm especially impressed by the env to lfo control; not even many 'real' synths feature that!

@theshaggyfreak Yes, this was available for playing at Moogfest! People enjoyed the heck out of it... I'm glad you did.
