Re: Great Improvements of the Serge Triple Osc M-odule.

2008-08-09 by hansgrusel

i've had my triple oscillator m-oudule for over a month now and I can say without
hesitation it's the saber tooth cat's meow. FM is incredible + the portamento in, on the
NTO, is a much overlooked beauty. If I get a chance tonight I'll try to do a review w/ some
exx. but in short this collection of trip-osc gems are a sonic motherload at the top of the
mark!
