The Amazing New Zeroscillator!

The Amazing New Zeroscillator!

2005-12-08 by Cynthia Webster

Announcing...
The revolutionary new ~Zeroscillator~ FM VCO from Cynthia. 

Available now in a variety of popular modular synthesizer formats!

(Yes, you read that right!)
 
http://www.cyndustries.com/



***** PRESS RELEASE 12/08/05 *****

They said it couldn't be done... but Team Cynthia went and figured it 
out anyway!

Cyndustries.Com announces

The Amazing New Zeroscillator!

A Liquid Smooth All Analog Through-Zero FM Oscillator for Modular 
Synthesizers
For the first time traditional digital FM synthesis is possible in an 
all analog signal path.


http://www.cyndustries.com/


Features Include:

Through-zero Linear FM Operation.  AC & DC Linear FM Inputs with 
4-Quadrant Dynamic Depth VCA.  Separate Outputs for All Traditional 
Waveforms.
Voltage Controlled Bi-Phasic Waveform Morphing in Four-Phase Quadrature.
Variable Synch.  Precision Ten-Turn Tuning Knob
Switchable Linear Bias Modulation Depth and Polarity LEDs.
Unique Time Reversal Input! 
What does all this mean?  It means incredibly rich and alive sonic 
textures are now available to you!
It means that brass, woodwinds, percussion and exotic electronic mayhem 
are just a knob-twist away without need of filtering or other spectral 
post-processing!
It means a whole new, exciting way of synthesizing sound on your modular! 
Advanced engineering and the very latest in exotic semiconductors enable 
the amazing Zeroscillator to create classic (digital) Linear FM 
Synthesis on your modular with reliable, all-analog ("Look Ma, no 
aliasing!") circuitry.

Physically, the Zeroscillator's design and build quality are 
stratospheric. The finest components are employed using high-quality 
4-layer circuit boards, NKK Switches and Switchcraft connectors.  All 
chips are in military-grade type gold sockets, and gold connectors are 
used internally for years of trouble-free maintainance.   
Sonically, Zeroscillators produce crystaline FM textures without the 
assorted noises and grit of digital.  Zeroscillators increase the 
sophistication of your music because each use is a delightful journey 
into undiscovered, exciting new dimensions!
  Learn for yourself what the "Through-Zero" & "Dynamic Linear FM"  buzz 
is all about using actual analog synthesizers. Sieze this opportunity  
to invigorate your music with this breakthrough in electronic 
technology  by equipping yourself with exciting new Zeroscillators today!

All I can say is "whoa".  And I haven't even read the description!

Obviously, Cynthia has a large number of modules stocked, but waits
until market demand is at the precise tipping point before she offers
her creations to the rest of us.  I have it on good authority* she has
the following stocked and ready to go, as soon as we talk about 'em
enough on these mailing lists:

1) oscillator loosener "Oscilloosener"

2) envelope de-oorger "Deoorgvelope"

3) Analog simulation of interpolating digital delay "Boioioioinger"

4) Entire Minimoog with modular features that fits behind a 3U wide
Fracrack panel "Femptomoog"

5) Fryall (www.ciat-lonbarde.com) in all modular panel formats,
including earthworm-ready tray and special vactrol-ant-farm-controller
adapter "Sandrodinator". (May only be available with banana jacks.
Spoon sold separately.)

I love Cynthia's stuff, but I just wish she wouldn't hold out on us like
this.  Oh well, we can't all have gigantic unique analog modulars, I
suppose.





Seriously, this is great.  Happy holidays!

...and I just read the description and listened to the samples and I say 
"woa!" too :D Sequence.mp3 is very interesting!

that's pretty nice cynthia! i might need to save some rack space for this 
one, but is that 3 or 4 spaces?

Looks like 4 spaces to me.

Cynthia(or anyone else),

 Will you be able to get frequency shifter effects with this module?  I was going to pull the 
trigger on the Encore Electronics FS until I read about this.

Thanks,

Dave

No, you still need a frequency shifter. The ZO is not a FS.
