Make Noise STO

The STO is Make Noise's classic VCO. It is similar to a single channel of the DPO, but with a few adjustments. It has three outputs, a dedicated Sine output, a square wave Suboctave output, and a waveshaped output, which morphs from a soft triangle to something in between a Triangle and Square wave. There are both Linear and Exponential FM inputs, as well as a Sync input. The Waveshaping circuit is also voltage controllable, providing timbral shifts without any filter. It tracks musically using the 1V/Oct input over 5 octaves. The Suboctave output is kept separate when the Sync input is used, so the suboctave has its own Sync input, S-Gate. For those wanting the sound of Make Noise without the price of a DPO, the STO is the perfect solution. 

STO Features

  • Compact Voltage Controlled Oscillator
  • Triangle Core with outputs for SINE, SUB and Variable SHAPE
  • Unique Variable SHAPE circuit ripples Even and Odd harmonics for subtle timbral shifts
  • Linear FM input with Depth control
  • EXPOnential input for deep FM, SYNC sweeps or Transposition of sequences
  • SUB-Oscillator yields max bass
  • S-Gate input for gating or sync of SUB-Osc. independent of other outputs
  • Hard SYNC circuit which combined with Linear FM and Variable SHAPE yields harmonically rich sounds
  • Pairs well with the MMG or Optomix
  • Eurorack Module
  • 8 HP Width
  • 30mm Depth
  • Current Draw: 40mA @ +12V, 30mA @ -12V

Elektron Analog Four MKII With A Tiny Modular Synth
This video shows how an Elektron Analog Four MKII can be used with a eurorack modular synthesizer. The Analog Four can output 4 CV signals for triggering and controlling sounds from the modular and the modular can be plugged into the Analog Four to be mixed with the other voices and be run through the effects. The Analog Four is triggering a Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas Alter, WMD Chimera and Make Noise synth made with STO, Function and LxD.

Make Noise Sub Timbral Oscillator (STO)
STO
A compact Voltage Controlled Oscillator designed for generating SINE waves, Variable wave-Shapes, Sub-Octave Harmonics, Oscillator SYNC and Linear FM in the analog domain. The Sub-Timbral Oscillator is the more subtle and melodic friend to the DPO's complex harmonic lattice.

• Triangle Core with outputs for SINE, SUB and Variable Shape
• Unique Variable Shape circuit allows for subtle timbral shifts
• Linear FM input with Depth control
• EXPOnential input for deep FM, SYNC sweeps or Transposition of sequences
• Sub-Oscillator
• S-Gate input allows for gating the Sub-Osc. as well as implementing Sub-Osc. SYNC independent of the SINE and Variable Shape outputs
• Hard Sync circuit which combined with Linear FM and Variable Shape yields harmonically rich sounds
• Pairs well with the MMG or Optomix
