Hi John, You are laboring under a misconception (which can be painful). There is no such thing as a "base" frequency in the ZO. The freq of the oscillator follows this relationship: F = K * LinCV * 2^ExpCV where: F = oscillator frequency K = a constant LinCV = sum of all linear c

Hi Michael, You are not the first to have asked this question. The answer is no - with a workaround. The Zeroscillator is controlled both linearly and exponentially. Because you use exponential control to play up and down the keyboard, ratios between frequencies remain constant a

Hi, is it possible to achive linear detuning with at least a pair of ZOs? I.e. the set beating between the two ZOs stays at the same rate while playing up and down the keyboard. If yes, how can this be done? Thanks a lot, Michael.
