Sure, it makes sense to have a single ZO. With just one you can achieve traditional lin FM OR more extreme thru zero FM. You can use another VCO or an oscillating filter as the modulator. With two or more ZOs, you could do cross modulated thru zero FM, or start replicating DX-7is

Hi Moe, speaking of FM etc.: Does it make sense to run single ZO to achive the traditional lin-FM sounds? Or would it be better to have two or more in the system? Just asking for "future planning" ;-) :-) Michael. --- In The_Cyndustries_List@yahoogroups.com, "mate_stubb" wrote: >

It depends on what you consider a stage. There are 7 settable levels, the 8th always being zero, and 8 rates between the levels. When you run in sequence mode, one of the rate pots is borrowed to allow you to have 8 levels. Moe http://www.stoogeindustries.com --- In The_Cyndustri
