Polyfusion Module 2004 - Voltage Controlled Oscillator

Model 2004 Voltage Controlled Oscillator

FEATURES:
• "Micro-touch" range selector
• Extreme thermal and mechanical stability
• Wide range phase lock
• 2,500,000 :1 frequency range
• 3% pulse width capability

The model 2004 Voltage Controlled Oscillator is the heart of the signal generation capability of the POLYFUSION synthesizer. This is a high performance electronic signal generator designed especially for musical application; either on the stage or in the studio. The 2004 offers high reliability, stability, and accuracy to function perfectly in the most demanding circumstances. You, as the musician, see the clearest, most logical control arrangement available: the range switching is accomplished with the "Micro-Touch" range selector built into the control panel, a touch of a button and you have selected a range which is indicated by a red light. Not only do you avoid having to grab and then turn a rotary switch, but you can go from one range to any other directly; without switching through the ranges between. The 2004 is tuned with a quality "smooth-feel" control with a large knob for ease of adjustment. The 2004 offers an ultra-narrow duty cycle capability at the pulse wave output which allows for the creation of timbres never before available.
