Module details added further below.

Additional details via Make Noise:

"Make Noise is proud to announce our newest module, the XPO!

The XPO, or Stereo Prismatic Oscillator, is a Voltage Controlled Analog Oscillator designed for generating Sine waves, Triangle waves, Sawtooth and Spike waves, Sub-Octaves, Stereo Timbre Modulations (including Pulse Width Modulation and Wavefolding), Oscillator SYNC, Linear FM and more in the analog domain.

The XPO is designed to be the Stereo VCO complement to our Stereo Filter, the QPAS. The two modules share the core idea of complex circuits being controlled in multiple dimensions in the stereo field by a few powerful parameters. The Stereo Prismatic Oscillator also makes a particularly useful patch buddy for the STO, Mimeophon, and X-PAN.

The Story of the XPO by Tony Rolando

I was lying awake in bed at 3 am thinking about music and synthesizers, on this early morning specifically, the voice panning of the OB8. So simple, so effective. A bank of 8 analog pan-pots is tucked into the side of the instrument to let the musician choose the exact placement of each voice in the stereo field. As you play the instrument, notes may dance around your head. This led me to think about how Oberheim and most other synthesizer designers through the 70s and early 80s primarily used Pulse Width Modulation for waveform animation. Don Buchla's wavefolding techniques had not caught on. PWM has been more or less the same for decades and there is not a whole lot of difference between PWM in one instrument to another. Some allow you to modulate further than others. A few even allow you to go all the way to 0% or 100% Width. PWM was usually generated from a Saw or Triangle core, and while I tend to prefer PWM generated from a Tri-Core, the difference is subtle. The bigger difference is the filter that follows. PWM has a way of tickling the resonance of a filter that can really make the sound come alive.

This led me to think about Stereo filtering. How could a synth sound more stereo? At Make Noise we have voice panning with the XPAN, stereo filtering with the QPAS, and stereo echo verb with the Mimeophon. Surely, this was enough stereo modulation.

Then it occurred to me, why couldn't PWM be stereo? It would be very effective at creating a stereo image since the amplitude of both Left and Right would be almost identical, while still offering dramatic stereo timbral shifts. I thought to myself, surely somebody has done Stereo PWM already. I needed to research this idea. So I wrote about it in the notepad I keep on the nightstand and I eventually fell back asleep.

I woke up the next day and I immediately saw the note, I tried to read it...

Tape Op Interview with Tony Rolando & Kelly Kelbel of Make Noise Music

Pictured: Kelly Kelbel, Alessandro Cortini, Tony Rolando

Tape Op has an interview with Tony Rolando & Kelly Kelbel of Make Noise Music.

There are some interesting bits including how Tony got started in the world of building synthesizers  at Moog Music.

"Tony: I'm completely self-taught. About ten years ago I went to the library and dug up every book I could find on analog circuit design. I wanted to know how synthesizers worked. I started trying to build stuff. Most of it didn't work immediately, but eventually I figured it out.

So from there, what was your first job in this field?

Tony: Moog Music. We went to Asheville to visit some friends, and the Citizen-Times headline was that Bob Moog had passed away. Kelly thought they might need some people, and encouraged me to call. They said they might be hiring, and we arranged an interview. They just put me in a room with a schematic, pointed at stuff, and asked me what it was. It was pretty simple. They just wanted to see if I knew anything at all. I passed the test, so they gave me the job. I learned a lot about building electronic instruments there.

What was your job there?

Tony: Moog was still really small. The Little Phatty hadn't come out yet. I did warranty work and service for stuff that failed right off the production line. I ran the Voyager quality control line for quite a while. There were only 20 people there back then. People had many jobs, so I even worked in shipping every once in a while. Moog was just a warehouse at the time. There were a couple of windows in the front, but once you got inside, there was no sign of daylight! I worked there for about three years. The current space is really beautiful, with big windows.

Kelly: Everybody's got to start somewhere. The last Make Noise space was 400 square feet with really weird carpet and one window. It was really stuffy, and we were all on top of each other. We were only there for a few months."

"ContinuuCon, the First Continuum Fingerboard Conference took place June 9–11, 2016, at the Altamont Theatre in Asheville, NC.

Performers, sound designers, composers and electronic music enthusiasts who attended ContinuuCon explored this uniquely expressive instrument through concerts, workshops, lectures and more. Dr. Lippold Haken, inventor of the Continuum, and Edmund Eagan, developer of the Continuum’s synthesis engine EaganMatrix, were among those sharing their knowledge and musical talents.

With sponsors including the Bob Moog Foundation and modular synthesizer manufacturer Make Noise, the event opened with a reception at the Make Noise factory and included an evening concert, and a dinner (with multiple jam sessions) at Streamside.

Make Noise's Tony Rolando on the Dual Prismatic Oscillator

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."
