The Duskwork VCO2 DIY KIT is complete will all the necessary components to construct a complete analog oscillator. All surface mount components are pre-populated, except for one AS3340 surface mount component you will need to solder yourself.

This makes the Duskwork Modules the perfect DIY project if you are looking to try soldering surface mount components without committing to a bigger surface mount build.

Complete Analog VCO Kit with some great features:

• Analog VCO

• 3 Wave Mixer

• Self Tuning Capability

• Iconic 3340 VCO IC

• Simple Controls

• Tuning Status LED

• 6HP

• 26mm depth

This build does require to you upload the firmware once you have finished assembly. You will need a suitable AVR compatible in system programmer to install the firmware.

See Build Guide and Firmware below.

From Duskwork:

The way Self Tuning works is simple. Send it a ‘C’ note over a 1v/oct CV signal, hit the button and the module will do the rest. It will calculate the offset voltage needed to bring that C up to perfect pitch. It’s recommended (as with any analogue synth) to let the module warm up for 10 minutes or so before tuning up.

So you may be thinking: “how do I slightly de-tune it to make a thicker bass line voice?”.

The answer to that is a simple one. Say you want it to be de-tuned by 1 semi-tone; just hold the B note whilst hooked up to the module with a 1v/oct CV signal, hit the button, and it’ll use that as its reference, allowing you to easily tune it perfectly – or de-tune to your hearts content.

Option to bundle with 5 x Synth Cable Supply Co patch cables.
