VCO 1

VCO 1 

 generates saw, square, and sine outputs.

The default signal to the first (unattenuated) FM Control input is from the keyboard. The Audio/LF switch 

 

above this input 

switches the mode of the VCO from Audio (10Hz - 20,000Hz) to LFO Mode (0.03Hz – 30Hz). 

When the VCO is in LFO Mode, the default connection to the keyboard is removed. This can be overridden in this mode by 
patching a cable to the Keyboard CV output 

 on the left side of the keyboard output on the left side of the front panel.

The default signals to the next three FM Control inputs are from a) the Sample & Hold, b) the ADSR Envelope Generator 

 

and c) VCO2 sine 

, which is the output from VCO2’s sine wave generator.

VCO 2

VCO 2 

 

generates sine, triangle, sawtooth, and pulse outputs. A pulse-width slide control can adjust the duty cycle 

from 10% to 90%; at the middle of its travel, the pulse width is 50% (a square wave). There is a fourth attenuator-governed 
input 

, for digital control of the pulse width. The default signal at this PWM input is from the Noise Generator 

.

Just like VCO1, VCO2 has the same first three FM CONTROL inputs, and an additional one, VCO1 square, which is an input 
from VCO1’s square wave generator 

.
