Description

Cre8audio Capt'n Big-O

Cre8audio's Capt'n Big-O is an analog oscillator with some special features, created in collaboration with Pittsburgh Modular.

The oscillator has a very wide frequency range extending over ten octaves with stable tracking.

With sine, triangle, sawtooth, and square waveforms, including pulse width modulation, the sonic repertoire is far from exhausted.

The sine wave is followed in the signal path by a wavefolder that overdrives, folds, and bends the waveform.

The Wavefolder can also be used separately thanks to its own signal inputs and outputs.

Like the Wavefolder, the drive circuit is also kept open, but this is not assigned to any particular waveform and can therefore be used directly and freely.

Specifications

Wave folder/waveshaper - routed by default to sine but patchable to any waveform or external source

Drive circuit - essentially a 75x overdriven VCA (5V output)

Linear and exponential frequency modulation (FM)

Hard sync

Pulsewidth modulation

120mA power draw when running +12V rail

108mA power draw when running -12V rail

Frequency range of oscillator: full range - LFO through audible spectrum

Input voltage range of oscillator = -10V to +10V
