This VCO uses the same triangle-core design as the original TZ-VCO, with small changes to reduce the size of the panel. Through-Zero Frequency-Modulation. Wideband FM produces rich, inharmonic tones. Three switchable sensitivity settings offer everything from simple vibrato to complex tones.
Reversing Sync. The direction of integration in the VCO core can be reversed on the rising, falling and rising & falling edges of a signal for ring-modulator-like effects.
Pulse-Width Modulation. The pulse output can be modulated from 0 to 100% with a dedicated PWM input, or set to 50% for a square-wave output.
VCO and LFO in a single module. The frequency of the VCO can be reduced by a factor of 100 with a switch on the front panel.
