" The CS-20M features 2 VCOs with a 6-octave range and 3 waveforms. The VCA contains an extra sine-only oscillator, and a white noise generator is also included.

Like on the other early CS-series synths, a resonant 12dB/octave multimode VCF is available as the filter. It is switchable between high-, low- and band-pass (the last being 6dB/oct). The VCF contains its own ADSR envelope generator plus controls for cut-off and resonance.

The single LFO can be used for PWM. An internal memory is available, holding up to 8 user programmable patches. Other features include brilliance control, portamento, pitch bend, glide and glissando. For external control there is a CV/gate interface. "

"Tap into the power of 3 analog super-synths—the JX-10, MKS-70 and JX-8P. UVX-10P recalls the last true analog synthesizers from the famed masterminds behind the Juno and Jupiter series, delivering a lush and extravagant analog sound. A fully-programmable interface lets you dive in and craft your own patches—utilize our high-quality amp and multimode filter designs, multiple effects, LFO, step modulator and much more.

In 1985 the world was introduced to the JX-10, a 12-voice, 24-oscillator analog synthesizer par excellence and the last true analog synth of its lineage. Following in the footsteps of the JX-8P and JX-3P, the Super JX was fashioned with a sparse aesthetic. A lack of knobs made the system a bit of a chore to program but an external controller (the PG800) could be attached, cheerfully reuniting synthesists with the immediacy and rapid programming speed of the ever-popular Jupiter and Juno lines. The JX-10 is known for an immense and capable analog sound, even some digital textures; it's simply a magnificent synth. Programming capabilities were equally rich with independent control of 2 DCOs per voice, 2 EGs, 2 VCFs, onboard chorus and even a sequencer (albeit a limited one).

UVX-10P was designed to deliver on all of the strengths of the JX series with none of the weaknesses. We started with a pristine JX-10, MKS-70, and JX-8P and set off, tirelessly programming and sampling these beauties in high-resolution through a world-class signal chain. As with the UVX-3P we made every sample twice, with and without the built-in chorus, providing an authentic and versatile foundation. This sonic backbone paired with the UVI Engine results in a lush and extravagant analog sound; faithful to the hardware with a modern studio bite. UVX-10P delivers a fully-featured and fully-programmable interface sporting ADSR control of our high-quality amp and multimode filter designs, multiple effects, LFO and step modulator, a tediously crafted library of 150+ patches and even original wave samples for you to create your own programs with.

A perfect complement to UVX-3P, UVX-10P delivers a tremendous analog sound at an outstanding price. Add a piece of vintage synth history to your collection today!"

Googlish translation (original link to the page in French below):

"Construction of a dual oscillator unit made entirely by hand with simple electronic components, a soldering iron and a screwdriver.

Wikipedia: One of the Earliest musical instruments Utilizing a ring modulator May be the Melochord (1947) built by Harald Bode. It was a two-tone melody keyboard instrument with foot controllers and later added a second keyboard for control stamp, featuring a white-noise generator, controller envelope, forming and ring modulators filters for harmonics. The early Melochord WAS Extensively used by Werner Meyer-Eppler in the early days of the electronic music studio at Bonn University.

this is a double oscillator sawtooth wave as a main, and broken down into triangle sawtooth module. Frequency modulation is possible, but the goal of this module is primarily the ring modulation and amplitude modulation.

it is a dual VCO and a ring modulator, saw core, additionnal wave are: square, triangle and triangle shaped.

The idea for this module came to me after playing a EML 101 and a Moog Sonic Six, the ring modulator particularly interested me. I have several oscillators dedicated to frequency modulation in my modular, but no specifically designed for the amplitude modulation! So I created to find those special sounds. This module is built around simple circuits and archaic modulator, the sounds are raw, pretty close to my memory of the EML and even go much further. This module is focused on a form of amplitude modulation, ring modulation. Amplitude modulation was initially used in teletransmissions (long wave, medium wave, short wave), hence the name of the module. I wanted a module that refers to the buzz and the sound of a generator or power plant, a very electric module.

The idea of ​​this unit WAS inspired by the EML101 and the Moog Sonix Six sound. I have many VCO FM, AM VCO Any goal! The unit is built around a simple circuit, and a very early tour of the ring modulator, the thing called the real ring modulator, All which WAS used in AM radio transmissions. I wanted a VCO that sounds like a generator or an electric factory, an electric module.
