"kNoB technology presents an updated and improved Eurorack VCO module ηCarinae 2
Our second ray of light during a dark time

The ηCarinae 2 is a fully analog tzfm oscillator (tri-based).
The concept behind the creation of ηCarinae was to develop a generator with multi-level wave shaping and transformation, allowing not only smooth selection of the base waveform but also modification of the waveform itself in order to expand the available timbres.
7-level waveforming= simple form + form shaping + sub osc + "sine+" + FM + selfpatching + Ring mod
5 basic waves (Tri, Sine, Saw, Double saw, Square PWM) and white noise with vactrol LP filter
Wave folding for sine and triangle waves
SAW and Double SAW, both with Smooth saw ramp shaper (Rise to Fall)
Two SUB OSC f/2 + f/4 with CV level control in main mix
Hard and Soft sync
2x LFO modes
SINE+ mode for mixing simple waveforms with a folding sine wave
Pure analog design in every part of the module
LIN, EXP, TZFM, TZPM, RING modulation possibilities
