MCO - Compact Digital VCO - ALM021

The MCO is a compact but powerful digital oscillator. It features a wavetable output with 9 morphing waves, a pulse output that allows for 4 types of PWM applied to any of those waves, and an octave down square wave output. There are v/oct and sync inputs plus CV over wave selection, PWM and PWM type. In this video we take a practical look at many ways to patch, modulate, and layer the MCO to create a wide variety of tones.
