Thru zero oscillator eurorack module

Advertisement

DESCRIPTION
TZ0 is an analog voltage-controlled
triangle-core oscillator with the ability to
modulate through zero-frequency (See
figure 1). This allows for deeper,
cleaner, more natural sounding
frequency modulation and allows for
additional sonic expression not
available with standard linear FM. TZ0
is a 12 HP Eurorack module which is
available as a pre-built module or as a
DIY project. This VCO has been
engineered for extremely good 1 V/oct
response over a large tuning range and
great thermal stability.
