Hi Jack,

Take some time to read all of the ZO details on the Cyndustries website:

http://www.cyndustries.com/modules_zero-osc.cfm?type=36

The big feature of the ZO is through-zero dynamic FM.  No other 
off-the-shelf modular VCO that I know of has this feature.  The ZO adds 
a lot of "bells and whistles" around this.  It has a built-in VCA for 
controlling the depth of the FM, the Index CV input.  Other notable 
features include the quadrature outputs with VC wave shaping 
(morphing).  It also has two unusual synch features, a continuously 
variable synch, and a "time reversal" control.  These features are in 
addition to the "expected" full features of a VCO.  All of these make 
for a unique VCO that you can't find anywhere else.  Hence the excitement.

(My website will get an update this summer that'll include my ZO.)
