VCNO is a noise oscillator, capable of producing full spectrum white noise and various random signals. But that’s where its similarity to other noise generators stops. VCNO can be used like a VCO – you can modulate the pitch over CV and use its multiple outputs simultaneously, each with a distinct sonic character. As well, you can patch it into a VCA or use it to modulate and trigger other elements in your modular system.

• Width: 6HP

• Power: 49mA @+12v / 39mA @-12v

Features

• NOISE is the main LFSR output. With the pitch knob turned fully clockwise this will output pure white noise. As you turn the pitch down, the noise evolves into crunchy noise, reminiscent of vintage video game sounds
• GATE is a DC-coupled output. This is perfect for supplying random triggers in your system
• SCREECH features a dark, howling overtone to the main NOISE output
• SIZZLE features a related control, which takes the output from pure white noise when turned fully clockwise to a vinyl-like crackle when turned anti-clockwise
• TEAR sounds like the noise generator is broken and tearing itself apart
• All outputs work simultaneously and are simultaneously affected by the pitch knob or CV
• The frequency of VCNO can be modulated via CV – just patch any CV signal into this jack
• A clock signal input bypasses the internal frequency generator. You can apply a clock from a trigger sequencer to create a pseudorandom drum trigger pattern synced to the rest of your drums.
