Wow?

2008-09-25 by Paul Lord

I have a Classic VCO and a WFC, which were built at different times (months apart) and have been racked up in my basement for about 6 months. I set the tuning on them last night before I had audio flowing (coarse tune 9 o'clock, fine at noon on both), and was somewhat shocked at the accuracy. It was closer than my Korg tuner could resolve, I had to go to a strobe!

Given all the net chatter about osc stability for modular oscillators both vintage and modern, I was very impressed :) Is this normal? That is, if you had a Serge PCO and NTO (two different circuits like the WFC and VCO), and set the tuning to the same settings, would you get two tones that were within 1 cent? Or any two oscs in your system? Or am I correct is assuming that what I have witnessed here is superior design and calibration?

Either way, Grant, that's some neat trick! Thanks again for your unparalleled commitment to quality :)

regards,
Paul
