LA67 WFM Oscillator // Analogue 'Kobol' style waveshaping VCO in Eurorack with FM, AM & more


Published on Apr 8, 2020 DivKidVideo

*Here's the new WFM Oscillator from LA67. It's a 8HP Eurorack oscillator that offers multiple dimensions of sound shaping and control. There's the standard triangle and square outs and then a unique 'WFM' section. That offers level control (CV modulation or audio rate for AM synthesis) as well as RSF Kobol style wave shaping and also pulse width modulation. There's the standard FM (exp/lin), sync and 1v/oct controls too. As always this video is about demonstrating the raw sounds and features with musical example and patch tips that can help us all push our synthesis and sound design further.

WFM
OSCILLATOR
An analog VCO with a unique wave shaping circuit. Based on the 1970s Kobol synthesizers, the WFM output provides a continuously variable wave shape from triangle to saw to modulated pulse, with many interesting points in between. Voltage control over wave shape and output amplitude allow for wide timbral variations.

Features

• Three simultaneous waveform outputs: Triangle, Pulse, and WFM
• FM input with attenuator, switchable between linear and exponential
• V/Oct input
• Sync input
• WFM "MOD" input with attenuator
• WFM "LEVEL" input
• WFM variable pulse input
• 10hz-25khz frequency range
• 8+ octaves tracking

Technical Specifications

• 8hp
• 35mm depth
• Current draw: 65mA/65mA +12v/-12v
• Reverse power polarity protection
