Freak has been designed to address this issue. Freak is a dual oscillator for Eurorack modular synthesizers. The two digital oscillators can be phase synchronised with each other and have dedicated audio outputs. This makes it easy to process them separately while resulting in sharp and well defined bass and lead sounds.
Signal Flow Master Oscillator is at Freak’s core. It does not produce sound of its own but keeps the audible oscillators (Wave 1 & 2) and the audio rate modulator (Modulator) phase synchronised to itself. Wave 1 playing frequency can be offset from Master Oscillator. It can also be hard synchronised to Modulator.

WAVE 1 Section Wave Select between 8 different waveforms. White waveforms have the following modulation destinations for Modulator: frequency phase Blue waveforms have the following modulation destinations for Modulator: frequency PWM (first waveform) Timbre (last two waveforms) Sync Toggle the hard synchronisation to Modulator on/off. Tune When Sync is OFF: Fine tune the oscillator pitch up.

MODULATOR Section Wave Select between 8 different audio rate modulation waveforms. The last waveform is “DC” (direct current) which is useful for modulating Wave 1 with external CVs without Modulator oscillator effects. Use it for traditional external CV control with ADSR/LFO/ sequencer/etc.

WAVE 2 Section Wave Select between 8 different waveforms. Octave Select tuning between 4 octaves. Color & Control Change waveform specific synthesis parameters: Pulse = PWM / Phase Modulation • Double Saw = Saw mix amount / Phase Modulation • •...

AUDIO OUT Section Wave 1 Out Audio output for Wave 1 oscillator. Mix Out Audio output for crossfaded signal between Wave 1 & Wave 2 oscillators. Wave 2 Out Audio output for Wave 2 oscillator. Crossfade Set the amount of crossfade between Wave 1 and Wave 2 outputs that will be sent to Mix Out.
