  • Page 2 Overview VO-1 Viking Oscillator is an analog-modeled oscillator capable of producing classic analog sounds. It has two adjustable wave oscillators and a noise source. Eight outputs are available so that VO-1 can be used in a polyphonic synthesizer. CV outputs are available so that VO-1 can act as an LFO.

  • Page 4 From square to PWM, the waveform looks more typical. The pulse continues to widen past the square shape, and the whole waveform shift downward. What used to be the saw ramp eventually ends up as a short negative pulse. © 2014 Blamsoft, Inc. All rights reserved.
  • Page 5 2-1 FM Switch The 2-1 FM Switch hooks the output of oscillator 2 into the frequency control input of oscillator 1. Both the waveform and frequency of oscillator 2 can greatly affect the resulting sound. © 2014 Blamsoft, Inc. All rights reserved.

    0.98 semitones to 1.02 semitones. C5 is at the center while the rest of the notes become detuned. If you don’t want C5 to be in tune, you can adjust the frequency with the frequency knob. © 2014 Blamsoft, Inc. All rights reserved.
  • Page 7 If it is monophonic CV, then the Mono jack is controlled. Wave The two wave inputs control the oscillator waveshape. Note that the effect of the CV input is relative to the knob position. © 2014 Blamsoft, Inc. All rights reserved.
  • Page 8 Mono jack for monophonic CV or MIDI note input. Note that only the Mono jack is controlled by a keyboard input. CV Polarity The polarity switch determines whether the CV outputs are unipolar, 0 to 1, or bipolar, -1 to 1. © 2014 Blamsoft, Inc. All rights reserved.

    PolyCV. For monophonic CV or note input, there is a Mono jack. Note that only the Mono jack is controlled by a keyboard input. Tuning The tuning knobs allow for tuning variation between the voices. This can add character to a synth. © 2014 Blamsoft, Inc. All rights reserved.
