Sofia

A 24 HP analog oscillator that extends FOF formant synthesis: a warm, saturated base tone and two ripple elements spawned on each of its cycles, their density (RATIO), decay (DAMP), warp and shape set apart, mixed together or taken one by one. Strictly harmonic and phase coherent, it reaches from acoustic, woody and vocal timbres to bright and fuzzy ones, with a CV input for nearly every parameter.

Key features

• Per element: lit RATIO knob with CV and attenuator slider, DAMP slider and CV, WARP knob and CV
• RATIO TRACK and DAMP TRACK switches, SHAPE sine or square
• ELEMENTS MIX and FUND·ELEM MIX with CV; MAIN OUT, FUND OUT, A OUT, B OUT, IMPULSE A and B
