ALM Busy Circuits MCO MKII

ALM Busy Circuits revolutionizes their compact digital oscillator with the MCO MkII, a multimode digital voice module bringing you sounds of the 90s and 00s in only 6HP. MCO MkII includes both the original MCOs digiwave wavetable voice, alongside six other new engines and returning ALM favorites. Thanks to a streamlined and intuitive user interface, MCO MkII makes it easy to create captivating digital synth sounds which you can save as a user preset, letting you quickly summon up your favorite tones from this feature-rich superoscillator.

Included in MCO MkII's varied synth engines are a wavetable voice based on the original MCO, an flexible additive synth, multimode engine inspired by the Roland JP series, virtual analog, a vocoder and spectral resynthesis engine, bass synth, and the return of ALM's beloved SID GUTs C64 synth voice. Each of these modes lets you define a wide range of parameters, including routing options for three onboard LFOs, envelope settings, defining 4-voice chords, and for assigning MCO mkII's three CV inputs, external signal input for FM and sync, and trigger input. A veritable deluge of digital synthesis sounds in a size fit for even the smallest of systems, MCO MkII is a powerhouse voice in any rack, readily morphing into any role you require.

Like many of ALM's other modules, you can expand MCO MkII with the AXON-1 or AXON-2 expanders for additional control over its many parameters. Likewise, firmware updates and user wavetables are a breeze to upload thanks to a USB-C port on the back of the module, ensuring you're prepared for any power-up ALM provides. Whether you are putting together a small system and need flexibility within HP constraints, or stacking together multiple into a multi-faceted polyphonic monster case, ALM's MCO MkII is a vastly capable voice sure to shine in any system.
