{"product_id":"cosmotronic-vortex","title":"COSMOTRONIC VORTEX","description":"\u003cp\u003eA new 100% analog complex oscillator, featuring two independent VCO's. Both voices have a unique signal path and flavour. Complex cross modulations entangle them together, opening up completely new timbral territories.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures inlude the Thru Zero trinity; Frequency, Phase and Amplitude modulation.\u003cbr\u003eEach oscillator also has its own Low Pass Filter, which works great to mellow the harsher tones from complex intermodulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eEach VCO has great tracking and temperature stability, there is no distinction between a carrier and modulator.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe FM bus modulates the index of each individual voice, with linear and exponential inputs for external sources. There are also inputs for Sync in, with both soft and hard sync.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVCO 1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe left VCO signal chain starts with a shape function, that lets you morph between triangle and saw. This waveform is also available as a separate output.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eNext is a sinusoidal wavefolder, which changes its response dramaticaly based on shape of the waveform. The circuit is based on a modified version of a design by Barrie Gilbert from 1977, popularized by Open-Music-Labs (used with permission)\u003cbr\u003eThis circuit also creates the possibility of Thru Zero Phase Modulation, here the depth is controlled with the third slider. The source is normaled to VCO 2, but external modulation sources can be patched in, and the depth can also be modulated with CV.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eLastly there's a 2-pole Low Pass Filter, before going out the MAIN output. All parameters can be CV controlled, and feature handy attenuators at the inputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVCO 2\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe first slider is a continuous waveform shaper, that morphs from sine to tri to saw.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis waveform then enters the Thru Zero Amplitude Modulation (\u003cspan\u003eRingmod\u003c\/span\u003e) section. The slider sets the depth of modulation, with the source normalized to VCO 1. The depth can be CV controlled, and an external source can be patched as well. The result is also available on a separate output, pre wavefolder\/filter (VCO 2 sine).\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe third slider is a wavefolder, it's based around a novel wavefolding topology, with a unique and more aggressive sound compared to the sinusoidal folder of VCO 1.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe wavefolded signal goes into a 2 pole Low Pass Filter, and out of the MAIN output.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eDimensions\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e26 HP\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e27 mm deep\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eCurrent Draw\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e190 mA +12V\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e190 mA -12V\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e0 mA 5V\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"COSMOTRONIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41517915046061,"sku":"cosmotronic-vortex","price":699.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/3449\/7197\/products\/vortex.jpg?v=1651483970","url":"https:\/\/www.detroitmodular.live\/products\/cosmotronic-vortex","provider":"Detroit Modular","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
