Overview:
The STO is a compact Voltage Controlled Oscillator designed for generating Sine waves, Variable wave-Shapes, Sub-Octaves,
Oscillator SYNC and Linear FM in the analog domain. The Sub-Timbral Oscillator is the more subtle and melodic friend to the
DPO's complex harmonic lattice. The STO yields harmonically rich textures through the use of Hard Sync, Linear FM and Variable
Shape, but this VCO seems destined for melody.
The STO uses a Triangle Core and has outputs for Sine, SUB, and Variable Shape. The Sine is shaped from the Triangle using the
same circuit used on the DPO. The Sub-Oscillator has its own gate input that lets the user turn it on/o at will. The Variable
SHAPE ripples both Even and Odd Harmonics resulting subtle timbral shifts where the fundamental frequency is never masked.
When combined with the Sub-Oscillator output (at the input of the MMG, for example) this makes for a rich, strong melodic
voice.
The STO is a 100% analog musical instrument that is not suitable for laboratory use.
