VCNO

Hexinverter's voltage-controlled noise oscillator, made by Erica Synths: a linear feedback shift register built from discrete analogue parts, from white noise down to crunchy vintage video-game noise.

Key features

• PITCH knob and CV input with a bipolar attenuverter, for all four outputs at once
• NOISE, the main output, and GATES, the same signal DC-coupled for random triggers
• Three alternative outputs: SCRCH (a howling overtone), SIZZLE (with its own control, down to vinyl crackle) and TEAR
• CLOCK input replacing the internal generator, for pseudorandom patterns in time with a sequencer
• 6 HP, 30 mm deep, 49 mA on +12 V and 39 mA on -12 V
