via TRASH_AUDIO where you'll find the full interview post. Excerpts:
"I’ve wanted to do an analog oscillator for a while now, but there never seemed to be a good time. Fall 2011 I just said to hell with good timing… I’ve spent a great deal of time with the MiniMoog Voyager oscillators, Harvestman Hertz Donut and Buchla 261e, which were my all time favorite VCOs, each for different reasons. I chose to use the vintage 259 as a starting point for the layout of the panel controls; I had an immediate vision for how such a layout could translate into the euro format. Originally one of the VCOs in my design was Sawtooth core, in order to achieve the hard sync sound that I wanted from the Minimoog Voyager; later I was able to achieve a hard sync sound with a triangle core, so I decided to use triangle core for both oscillators allowing for the nice SINE shape on both...
I’m trying to move away from the idea of “Primary/ Principle,” “Modulator/ Carrier,” and etc… by allowing for complex timbres to be created with BOTH of the VCOs in the module, another element of the Moog Voyager design that I’ve always appreciated. VCO A has a Hard Sync circuit that when combined with FM (from VCO B) will melt your face. VCO B has the wave-shaping and folding circuits that morph the basic SINE into other, more harmonically complex waveforms...
The only thing that I would have liked to include will end up being offered as an expansion, and that is the Animated Mix Engine. It takes 6 waveforms generated by the DPO and allows for dynamic mixing of them using gates, triggers, pulses, clocks and control voltages."

Update: corrected the title of the post from Tony Orlando, to Tony Rolando. Sorry Tony! Although it would be cool to see some Make Noise in Vegas! :)
