Verbos Electronics Foundation Oscillator

Inspired by the Music Easel Complex Oscillator, the Verbos Foundation Oscillator is a pared-down oscillator that provides the West Coast richness that Verbos is famous for. The oscillator is a discrete transistor based core, the same found on Verbos's larger oscillators. In addition to the triangle and square waves output straight from the oscillator core, there are three shaped outputs. The richness and timbre controls impart harmonic interest to the waveforms and alter the waveshapes. The richness control multiplies the saw, square, and pulse waves and gives the sound of another oscillator in hard sync with the core of the oscillator. The timbre control fades between sine and the richer multiplied waveform. The Foundation Oscillator features 1V/Oct input, plus frequency, richness, and timbre CV inputs with attenuverters. While it is a relatively pared-down oscillator, it provides a wealth of complexity and interest at its outputs.
