video upload by Stazma

"Today we go for a proper dive into the Sawtooth Stack from Verbos Electronics.

This big module (or small synth, as you prefer) is based around five discrete VCO with the signature Verbos Electronics sound, that you can detune and spread using a few carefulle tuned set of controls.

It is a full stereo synth voice with two modulation sources and a stereo VCA and you control all the parameters and play the synth via Midi wich is a first for Verbos.

Have fun!"
