Mini Oscillator

This module provides an oscillator in a small package (3HP). It is perfect for when you want to have many independent voices in your patches without taking too much space, and for FM, or for stacking up many oscillators for additive synthesis.

It has 4 waveforms that you can select via toggles: sine, ramp, square, and triangle. You can set the octave value with the top knob. The frequency knob allows you to set the frequency in semitones, with a wide range of -24 to 24. You can display the frequency in Hz instead by engaging the Hz toggle above the frequency knob. This is useful for setting specific frequency values, for example for FM or additive synthesis.

There is an input to control the frequency with CV, with its own attenuverter. Set the attenuverter to 100% if you want it to track in volts per octave. There is also a sync input to hard sync the oscillator with a signal.

This module is part of the collection of Benard mini modules, which aims to provide powerful modules in very small packages for flexibility in designing patches when space is limited, such as when working on a small screen for studio or live performance.
