Twin waves
Voltage-controlled Dual Oscillator - User manual

Introduction

The driving idea behind the Twin waves Voltage-controlled Dual Oscillator/LFO module is to offer
two interesting oscillators in a skiff-friendly and compact size. To achieve that challenge, we built
the product's architecture on the concept of pre-defined algorithms, where the most useful
configurations and their matching parameters are ready to use.
