Re: Anyone here know a good forum for serious ANALOGUE SYNTH discussion?
Single VCO is not so bad with multiple routing options or blending options. The MiniBrute has a single VCO with sub oscillator but has the ability to blend multiple waveforms at the same time and also has a crazy doubling feature for saw to get supersaw sounds. Each of the VCO's in my Salamander Synth have seperate outputs for saw, triangle, square, sine, and can be sent to separate filters.
I was suprised at the versatility of the MiniBrutes osc mixer to mix the different waveforms, then adding saw or square sub osc really puts some beef into the sound.
I haven't seen this feature implemented in softsynths or virtual analog yet. In those cases, one VCO gets you one waveform you choose out of its potential waves. Not so with analog. You can output multiple waves from single VCO.
