Same here, FWIW. If you 'had' to, you could do crude FM by mixing the
modulator in with the 1v/Oct CV, but VC of that shape would be really sweet.
Oh well.

Hey, what if one were to take a page from the RA Moog book and design a 1u
"Micro Oscillator Driver" that could have some extra 'Ins' on it and behind
the panel hook to PCB points on a bank of the Micro VCOs? This could add the
features that were left off the uVCO for space and economy.

In this case, a "master" FM IN on the Driver module would make sense,
because it would identically modulate the pitch equally for vibrato effects.
This would then feed points on the circuit boards for say three uVCOs, while
each individual uVCO had its own shape control for PWM-like ensemble
effects.

A driver could have a master tune as well. So if you had a keyboard CV
feeding into one of Mr. Hendry's interval switches, then into the VCO
Driver, and this feeds a row of uVCOs...could be cool. Very fast adjustments
with few patchcords for basic use, with lots of patch-a-bility for NON basic
use.

Just a thought.

Doug Kraul's MOTM vco with through-zero FM.


Is this really happening...?
