Verbos Electronics - Foundation Oscillator

Verbos oscillators are modern classics. They combine the highest quality with a unique range of functions and sound. However, they are really big. If you want the basis of this sound in a small space, the Foundation Oscillator is something you should have a look at/listen to!

As with its two big siblings, the core of the sound generation is an analog triangle wave. The VCO sounds fantastic across the entire frequency range and, in addition to the triangle wave, also provides an output for pulse waves.

The interesting thing about the Foundation Oscillator is the right-hand (black) section of the module. You get a waveshaper here, with an additional multiplier. The sounds are reminiscent of oscillator sync and offer versatile and rich overtone structures.
There are three outputs, which initially output a sine wave. The Timbre parameter then allows you to crossfade this sine wave to either a spike (Buchla Easel classic), square or sawtooth wave. The Richness parameter multiplies the waves and adds harmonics.
Of course, both parameters are CV controllable with integrated attenuators. This makes it easy to create moving and complex structures.

With the Foundation Oscillator, Verbos gives you everything you need for legendary sound in a small space!

Features:

• Triangle core oscillator with additional pulse wave
• Waveshaper section with wave multiplier
• Outputs for spike, pulse and triangle wave
• CV inputs for all parameters

It starts with a sine wave. This can be picked up via three outputs with different waveshapers: The first one deforms the sine wave into a spike signal, the second into a square signal and the third into a sawtooth signal. For all three wave shapers, the degree of deformation is set via the Timbre parameter and the Richness parameter determines the degree of the wave multiplier (or wavecrumbler as Verbos calls it). Both parameters have CV inputs with corresponding attenuators. On the input side, the oscillator also has a 1v/Oct input and an additional pitch CV input with attenuator. In addition to the three waveshaping outputs, there is also a square and triangle output, giving the module a total of five waveform outputs. Quite decent on 12TE.
