Anyone who says this has never played a SCI Prophet VS. Of course
comparing a single VCDO to four 8x DCOs isn't really an accurate
comparison. Ideally a MOTM VCDO wouldn't be just a wavetable
oscillator. It'd be much cooler if it could also run in the subsonic
range and function as a LFO. Add a four digit display, encoder,
and a trigger input so it can also act as a programmable multistage
looping envelope. Now that would be cool.
