Key Features
Product Ref: 95206
The AJH Minimod VCO uses the same waveforms and tone from the original vintage synthesizer that was well known for its huge sound. However, the original Minimoog oscillator only allowed you to just select one of six waveforms to play, whereas the AJH provides independent outputs for each waveform allowing you to simultaneously direct these to any destination of your choice. AJH have eliminated the temperature problems of the original by upgrading components with precision op-amps and voltage references to successfully create a better and more powerful replica of the Moog Model D oscillator that still creates the well known big, fat and sweet sounds.
The Minimod VCO is ideal for creating thick bass sounds, analogue leads, and creative soundscapes. It is a highly versatile sound design module for a eurorack system. Featuring the classic sawtooth, square and triangle waves with a bonus sharktooth wave, the Minimod VCO is capable of all beefy analog bass sounds and soaring FM leads. The big, bulky sound is all down to the discrete transistor core which is an exact emulation of the R A Moog Model D oscillator that was known for its big, chunky sounds.
Additionally the Minimod VCO can be used as an LFO as well. Featured on the octave selection knob is a Lo setting. This acts the same way as the Model D VCO 3, however, does not have the reverse ramp waveform which VCO 3 featured instead of the sharktooth waveform. Frequency can be varied when adding control voltage of 1V/Oct or exp CV inputs. When in the Lo setting you can choose between each of the waveforms on the module and adjust the LFO rate, curve and pulse width with the square waveform for a variety of modulation possibilities.
The Minimod VCO features 2 types of oscillator sync which can be used to produce interesting glitch and modulation effects. The first type of sync resets the timing pulse which is great for glitch effects, and the second sync uses the sawtooth wave instead of a short pulse to the reset transistor that can result in classic sync style sweeps and laser type sounds.
The Minimod VCO eurorack module is designed with the performer in mind. All knobs have been placed at the top and the jacks at the bottom. This leaves all the knobs open and free to move without your cables getting in the way allowing you to adjust parameters without the patch cables getting in the way. The Minimod VCO comes in a sleek, black coating offering a simplified interface and professional appearance.
