ARTURIA – MOOG MODULAR V – USER’S MANUAL
5.1.2 Oscillators
The oscillators, nine in total are regrouped in threes. Each group has a 921a type controller and
three 921b type slave oscillators.
A group of oscillators
The controller is for the management of the impulse frequency and width of the 3 slave oscillators.
It can be used either statically with the potentiometers or thanks to the modulation inputs, which
can be connected to the output of any module (envelope, oscillator, modulation dial…).
The slave oscillators can equally be tuned and modulated separately with a potentiometer and a
range selector. These oscillators provide four waveforms that can be used simultaneously.
This method of organizing the oscillators, typical of Moog modular synthesizers, helps to rapidly ob-
tain a very rich tone. The tree oscillators tuned separately and waveforms mixed give very dense
tones. This tone can then easily be modulated with the controller. Adding a vibrato effect on this
sonority is immediate using a modulation input of the controller. This would not be the case if each
of the modulation inputs of the slave oscillators had to be set.
