1979 - AO (Algorithmic Oscilator)

Digital oscillator with envelope and VCA/LPG   The Algorithmic Oscillator is a Buchla-format VCO based on Plaits by Mutable Instruments. The successor to the 1979 DAO, the AO has more knobs, more parameters, and more I/O than the DAO plus new features not present on Plaits. With an internal envelope generator and a simulated LPG with adjustable vactrol response, the AO is an ideal standalone voice module for small Buchla systems.   Core Features High-fidelity digital oscillator (48 kHz, 16 bit) 24 synthesis algorithms (see the Algorithm List below) Auxiliary output with complementary audio signal Internal VCF/A with variable LPG mode Voltage-controlled decay envelope* Dedicated knobs for envelope decay and VCF/A amplitude* Pitch quantizer (1/4 tone, semitone, harmonic, and octave options)* Inverting attenuators for all CV inputs (0-10V range)* Envelope CV output (0-10V range)* = Upgraded features not available on Plaits Quick Reference Algorithm selection. Tap the ALGO switch to
