Re: received my Cyndustries (euro version) ZerOscillator!

2006-11-01 by untiedstates

I have 2 M15s.. from the panel their range is 3.2Hz-20KHz, lower via CV.

They sound great to me.. 

I use the morph more for manually crossfading oscillators - very
convenient because it puts 3 out of the 4 available waveforms useable
from one output, aside from the individual outs for each.

The sync was described as somewhere between soft and hard sync, and I
really like the way it sounds... a rough beating sound when the VCOs
are tuned in between harmonics and the sync is grabbing for a stable
spot - nice.

From what I understand, the M15 has exponential FM input.. vs. the
linear FM of the Zeroscillator. But then, I haven't heard the ZO to
compare how the different FMs behave (someone care to explain??)
