Belgian modular synthesiser manufacturer Joranalogue Audio Design has announced availability of Cycle 5, which they describe as a compact vari-wave oscillator module for Eurorack, first announced at SUPERBOOTH24. Here's the details in their own words...
Readily residing at the heart of Cycle 5 is a refined high-stability, triangle core VCO (Voltage-Controlled Oscillator), delivering performance that rivals or surpasses larger and more expensive oscillator modules.
Moreover, Cycle 5's standout feature is its vari-wave capability, smoothly morphing the waveform of the dedicated VARI output -- from sine to triangle, saw, square, and, finally, a very narrow pulse. Pushing things further, the VARI-WAVE parameter can be CV controlled -- up to audio frequencies -- for some intense timbres.
There are several other useful inclusions, too, such as individual waveform outputs, a seven-position OCTAVE switch, factory PITCH tuning, dual V/OCT. (Volt-per-Octave) inputs, and a RESET input for hard sync sounds.
Saying all that, then, this unique combination of features in a small (6 HP) module makes Cycle 5 as equally at home as a modest modulation companion to big VCOs as it does taking centre stage in miniature or polyphonic systems, thereby cementing its position as a very handy addition to Joranalogue Audio Design's existing lineup of extraordinary synth modules.
Pricing and Availability:
Cycle 5 is available immediately through Joranalogue Audio Design's global network of dealers at an MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price) of €215.00 EUR or $215.00 USD.
