In practice this means 16 analog voices which can be controlled separately.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe sonic gravy is found in the fine tuning of the voices. They can be set in strict digital tuning, be statically detuned (spread) or set to drift (Core Stability). Or both. The spread control takes us from a brutalist digital cityscape to super saw planet while the core stability ranges from vintage DCO synthesizers to a broken and misbehaving vintage VCO.\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOn the middle ground of both controls the sound resembles that of the old warm VCO designs of the 80’s (which we are \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003every\u003c\/strong\u003e fond of).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe basic building blocks are saw and pulse waves (with PWM) but more complex waveforms can be created using two or more unison waves and triggering the phase sync via the sync trigger input. Simultaneous unison waves in the same phase increase the amplitude but\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ewhen slightly detuned they generate strange harmonics and form unusual waveforms\u003c\/span\u003e. If more voices are used, spread is opened slightly and the sync trigger input is used with gate signal, the phase sync acts like a decay envelope producing flanging effect.\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis can be used for massive bass synthesizer sounds\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAll of the voices can be configured in different depths of unison and octave stack. Up to 6 octaves are supported. The 16 voices are spread evenly between the octaves.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSince we know the precise tuning of the waves, the master tuning can be accurately set in A440 across 6 octaves via a tuning LED. This makes the module handy for practical applications requiring accurate pitch. The 1V\/Oct pitch control is calibrated to high precision. A bipolar linear FM with a attenuator controls the master pitch in conjunction with the 1V\/oct input.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhile the Demon Core Oscillator stores megatons of energy in itself, it can be boosted to maximum yield by attaching the Demon Core Expander to it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTech specs:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e12hp, skiff friendly with 25mm depth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e120mA +12V and 20mA -12V\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e16 configurable voices (octave, stacks)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSaw and pulse waves with PWM ranging from 0-100%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCoarse tune for 6 octave range with half-step increments\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFine tune for \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e± half step range\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA blinking tuning indicator for finding C note in every octave and A440 fine tuning\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1V\/oct master pitch CV\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLinear FM CV\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e(±5V) with attenuator\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCombined Spread \/ PWM CV (±8V) with offset function\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStability CV (±8V) with offset function\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTrigger input for synchronizing the phases for all waves\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMono audio output\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA function (shift) button to do magic for different controls!\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSoftware updates via audio\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSecure shrouded power connector with a supplied power cable\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Supercritical","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54725910495573,"sku":null,"price":258.64,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1071\/1872\/3413\/files\/osc-product-1568x3303.jpg?v=1787442273","url":"https:\/\/climivor.myshopify.com\/products\/supercritical-demon-core-oscillator","provider":"CLIMIVOR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
