You're in luck, as Euro format Zeroscillators have the silver knobs!

We've been so busy assembling, calibrating, and shipping ZOs
that we haven't updated all of the pictures of the Euro ZO on the
site yet. Another Zeroscillator which will look better than its
screen illustration, (what I call a "sketch") is the Dotcom version.

In using the 'silver' buttons, (actually black with silver discs) it helped
to create a new sophisticated look of our own, while combining
panel elements from the various established Euro-Rack format
manufacturers.

The Miniphone jacks in our Euro and FracRak are the absolute
best available by the way, and are a factor of six or eight times more
expensive than the jacks used by other brands.
Multiply that by (20) front panel jacks for example,
and you can see the kind of quality that a Zeroscillator represents.

Please have a look at the PHOTO section of this Yahoo List to
see the actual front panels (and circuit boards) for each flavor ZO.

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.)
