C104 ODDYSEY OF SOUND VCO

The C104 Odyssey of Sound VCO is a voltage controlled oscillator based in the discrete core of the ARP VCOs ( 2600, Odyssey… ).

The oscillator has four waveforms available simultaneously (sine, triangle, saw and square with variable pulse width). The square wave pulse width goes from 10% to 90% and can be over-modulated. This feature makes possible to created sounds that are not possible in other VCOs.

In addition to the VCO, the module includes a Ring Modulator (CMOS) and a Diode Soft Clipping circuit that can be voltage controlled. The RM and the DSC have independent outputs.

VCO

• • • • • • Wide frequency range from 5Hz to 30KHz.

          • Perfect tracking over at least 8 octaves.

          • Coarse and fine frequency controls.

          • +/- one octave switch.

          • Temperature compensated.

          • Four waveforms available simultaneously: Sine, Triangle, Saw, Square.

          • Square wave pulse width 10%-90% allowing overmodulation.

          • Hard sync input.

          • Two 1V/Octv inputs.

          • One exponential modulation input with level control.

Ring Modulator ( RM )

• • • • • • CMOS based (like the original ARP Odyssey).

          • Independent ouput.

          • VCO Square wave is internally connected to the Ring Modulator.

Diode Soft Clipping ( DSC )

• • • • • • Soft clipping level control.

          • Soft clipping level can be voltage controlled.

          • Independent output.

          • Two waveforms available, ( triangle and saw ) selectable by switch.

All these features makes the C104 Odyssey of Sound VCO a versatile oscillator with a sonic range not available in other VCOs.
