KlavisTwin Waves MkII Dual Digital Oscillator

Klavis Twin Waves MkII

Retaining all the fantastic features of version 1, the Twin Waves MkII from Klavis is a complex dual oscillator with a great selection of synthesis algorithms. Each oscillator can run in LFO, VCO, or random mode. Semi-modular cross-modulation provides a simple way to create complexity and interplay between the two oscillators. The oscillators feature linear FM, through-zero FM, and 1V/oct tracking over 10 octaves, with an optional quantizer. Additional assignable algorithmic modulation varies based on the selected synthesis type and features dedicated attenuators.

A built-in VCA provides amplitude control over the oscillators from external or internal modulation. Some of the on-board algorithms include phase modulation, seven-waveform additive synthesis, and five stacked oscillators with unison detune. VCO 1 features a suboctave square wave output that is normalled into the clock/sync jack, providing easy syncing between VCO 1 and 2. In LFO mode, the synced clock input is tied to a clock divider/multiplier with CV control over the division/multiplication. LFO algorithms include phase modulation, waveshaping, Brownian random levels and vectors, and randomly spaced/warped triggers and waves. All settings are automatically saved and recalled during the next power cycle. Able to be modulated extensively from internal and external sources and featuring a wealth of synthesis algorithms, the Twin Waves is a powerhouse of an oscillator.
