STO = Sub-Timbral Oscillator. Compact analog VCO with a wave shaper and a sub-oscillator. It has been designed tfor generating sine waves, variable shape waves, sub octaves and linear FM on the analog domain and it has to be considered the small melodic brother of the harmonic DPO.
The STO is triangle-besed and has outputs for sine, for the variable shape waveform and the sub-oscillator. Besides an linear FM input with depth control there is a 1V/octave input and an exponantial FM input that alos has a 1V/octave characteristic and thus can be used as a transpose input. The SHAPE control of the variable waveform blends between odd and even harmonics for subtle timbrals shifts. This function is voltafe controlled and the Shape potantiometer turns into an attenuator once a cable is inserted in the shape CV socket. The sub-oscillator's S-Gate input is used to turn the sub-oscillator output on or off by the use of a gate signal. As this can happen in audio rates it can be used as a sync fuction for the sub-oscillator that is independent of the STO's hard sync function and can be used simultaneously with it.
Already interested in electronics at the early age of 12, Tony Rolando learned everything about circuits and musical instrument design by himself. He worked for Moog Music for a while and some sabbatical years, he founded Make Noise in 2008 in Asheville, North Carolina. By now, his reinterpretation of the Serge DUSG, Maths, is probably the most ubiquitous module in the eurorack universe ever. Make Noise continues to surprise with new and inspiring modules, including collaborations with Tom Erbe of Soundhack.
