Subject: digital osc vs DCO

From: domgoold@...
Date: 2016-09-19

ok, so i have a little MFB Synth Lite II - which is a very natty little
piece of kit, and sounds great (to me): moog-ish (prodigy/rogue/..)
as well as roland-ish, and has analog filter + envelopes, but
'digital' oscillators-generated by a micro cpu.

so, there's been some debate on forums as to whether this constitutes
a 'DCO', or if a distinction must be drawn...

it has 2 oscillators (and a sub) and these can x-modulate,sync+ringmod.
(start thinkng jx3p for the Poly version?) - but then complainers were
going: 'oh but it's horrible ∗digital∗ sync/crossmod/ringmod'
>the thing almost fits in your shirt pocket and sounds good<

it brings out the filter really well -would probably work ok with the korg
filter.
