About this listing
The Ensemble Oscillator is a unified polyphonic voice of sixteen complex oscillators combining additive, FM, phase-distortion and wavefolding synthesis techniques in new unorthodox ways. By quantizing the oscillators to scales or series of harmonics, the Ensemble Oscillator allows you to explore the sonic boundary between musical chords and rich evolving textures. Easily create a wide variety of sounds ranging from aggregates of pure sine waves to pulsar synthesis or pristine harmonic tones and lush wide chords to rich dirty drones and rumbling glitches. Custom scales can quickly be "learned" and saved using a CV keyboard or by manually entering notes with the controls.The Ensemble Oscillator is designed by Matthias Puech and 4ms Company.Firmware is open source and available on the 4ms githubFeatures16 sine-based oscillators bound to intervals of a selected Scale30 factory-programmed, user-writeable scales organized in three groups:12TET: all notes quantized to equal temperamentOctave: unquantized notes, repeating over octavesFree: unquantized notes, repeating over the interval between the lowest and highest noteA simple method to program ("Learn") your own scales manually or with a CV/Gate keyboardThree Twist phase distortion effectsThree Warp wave distortion effectsThree algorithms of Cross FM for modulating the oscillators with each otherMono or stereo output with selectable panning algorithmFreeze button and jack to freeze the frequency of some of the oscillators, with selectable algorithmTwo 1V/oct inputs: Pitch (non-quantized), and Root (quantized)High-accuracy, temperature-stable, eight octave range (-2V to +6V), can be calibrated to any keyboardSix bi-polar CV inputs (-5V to +5V)Two gate inputs for automated Learning and FreezingSpecs16HP Eurorack format module0.98" (25mm) maximum depth (including power cable)10-pin to 16-pin Eurorack power headerPower consumption+12V: 114mA maximum-12V: 45mA maximum+5V: 0mA (not used)Audio outputsFrequency range: 0Hz (DC) - 20kHzTypical amplitude: 10VppMaximum amplitude: 18.5Vpp1V/oct inputs (Root and Pitch)Voltage range: -2V to +6V (8 octave range)Factory calibrated to 1.00V/octPer-jack user-calibration allows from 0.7V/oct to 1.3V/octCV inputs (other than 1V/oct)Voltage range: -5V to +5VGate inputsTrigger threshold: 2.5VUser memory (non-volatile)Scale slots: 30Shift feature settings1V/oct calibration settings
