MOTM

Howdy All!

The price of Zeroscillators is Going Up March 1st to $750

Here at Cyndustries we are pleased to announce that we've
shipped (40) Zeroscillators in the past two months, and we
have already sold (70) Zeroscillators across all five formats!

A question being asked is, "If we are, or aren't going to do
the Blacet and Dotcom Format versions of the Zeroscillator?"

and the Answer is... HELL YES!  Of Course We Are, LOL!

They are a Total Hit!

Euro Format Zeroscillators started shiping this week
along with Modcan and MOTM flavored ZOs.
Every day Zeroscillators are rolling off the assembly line.

Blacet Format boards just arrived today and are being stuffed,
and Synthesizer DotCom flavored Zeroscillator panels are
officially in the works now!

So What are People Around the World Saying About them?

~Groovy Words about the Cynthia Zeroscillator~


Simply bloody brilliant!

The timbral range is pretty amazing.
Now the problem is that I want a few more...

"I also received the 3 ZOs. Hell, what can I say. Adding just
one of them to my system is like doubling the already huge
possibilities. Adding 3 is just .... I can't simply describe it.
This is probably the most versatile and best sounding osc ever
built and worth every single cent. I think I will need a lot of
time to discover everything it offers. I can't thank you enough
for these gems.

I must say that this is the most exciting thing I've seen hit
Eurorack .... ever!

well for starters, the Zeroscillator now that I have
one ;-)

I think it is totally AWESOME that you made a module
in Dotcom format, in addition to the OTHER formats...
You've really done us all a great service.....

It's here and it's gorgeous, And it's *HUGE*! Did I mention it's
gorgeous? How does it sound? Fat, FM, ballsy, klangy, yummy,
gorgeous. Worth EVERY PENNY.

I'm still exploring the huge palette available
for FM It's going to take a lot of playing to get
my head around all the modulation capabilities of
this oscillator. Suffice it to say that the pure
inherent waveforms coupled with the extreme amount
of modulation possible make the Zeroscillator sound
different and more radical than anything else
in my system.

Major kudos to Cynthia and crew for taking the
gamble and succeeding in bringing a premium module
like this to synth lovers everywhere!

Stooge MOTM Format Zeroscillator Review

Howdy all,

I received my MOTM ZO a couple days ago and am reporting in with my
initial impressions.

Appearance/build:
This thing is big and beautiful. It is a perfect cosmetic match for
the factory MOTM modules (something not always achieved by others -
for example, the Encore Freq Shifter). The sandwiched system of 3 main
boards and multiple panel control boards is elegant and completely
eliminates hookup wire for the panel controls. This is an interesting
solution to the problem of offering multiple formats at a relatively
low volume.

The jacks are switchcraft, but not the 112As that MOTM users are used
to. They look much the same, but have different lugs to mount to the
PCB. They have a heavier engagement feel than the 112As. The pots are
smooth feeling with a slightly more damped feel than standard bourns
pots. The multiturn tuning control is smooth and light feeling. You
can spin it around with a single finger. I found precise tuning to be
easy and quick.

Features/functionality:
Well, it's simply the most full-featured VCO I've ever seen! Linear
through zero FM with built in VCA, 5 basic output waveforms, 4 aux
outputs in quadrature with wave shapers, etc. Everything works as
advertised. The only tiny complaint I have is that the waveform
morphing doesn't match the pot positions with the panel graphics. Just
use your ears and you'll find where it hits the sine wave sweet spot.

The variable strength sync works very well, and allows you to achieve
effects from stepping harmonics to a severe "tearing" from one
harmonic to the next, to an even more severe octave jump effect I had
never heard before. Very musical.

Having a built in VCA to control the FM modulation amount is very
handy. It makes it easy to achieve enveloped modulations for struck
metallic sounds using only an external EG.

I've had great fun using it as a LFO with the quadrature outputs
driving 4 separate VCOs. Using rectified square waveforms I can get
swooping trills in 4 part harmony, very cool!

Sound:
The basic sound is very clear and pure. I put a scope on all the basic
output waveforms, and they are pristine. This module has that
characteristic very pure sine wave output that you cannot get with a
sawtooth core VCO. This of course is the perfect starting point for
linear FM. Until now, the only way I could get that sound is by using
an oscillating VCF, which typically doesn't track the keyboard as well
as a real VCO.

I'm still exploring the huge palette available for FM. It's going to
take a lot of playing to get my head around all the modulation
capabilities of this oscillator. Suffice it to say that the pure
inherent waveforms coupled with the extreme amount of modulation
possible make this sound different and more radical than anything else
in my system.

Major kudos to Cynthia and crew for taking the gamble and succeeding
