Make Noise STO Oscillator

Make Noise STO

The STO is Make Noise's classic VCO. It is similar to a single channel of the DPO, but with a few adjustments. It has three outputs, a dedicated Sine output, a square wave Suboctave output, and a waveshaped output, which morphs from a soft triangle to something in between a Triangle and Square wave. There are both Linear and Exponential FM inputs, as well as a Sync input. The Waveshaping circuit is also voltage controllable, providing timbral shifts without any filter. It tracks musically using the 1V/Oct input over 5 octaves. The Suboctave output is kept separate when the Sync input is used, so the suboctave has its own Sync input, S-Gate. For those wanting the sound of Make Noise without the price of a DPO, the STO is the perfect solution. 

STO Features

• Compact Voltage Controlled Oscillator
• Triangle Core with outputs for SINE, SUB and Variable SHAPE
• Unique Variable SHAPE circuit ripples Even and Odd harmonics for subtle timbral shifts
• Linear FM input with Depth control
• EXPOnential input for deep FM, SYNC sweeps or Transposition of sequences
• SUB-Oscillator yields max bass
• S-Gate input for gating or sync of SUB-Osc. independent of other outputs
• Hard SYNC circuit which combined with Linear FM and Variable SHAPE yields harmonically rich sounds
• Pairs well with the MMG or Optomix
