Rare Digital VCO Prototype Taken for a Spin

Not every instrument makes it's way into the hands of the synth buying public. Whatever the reason, such prototypes exist only in small numbers. I recently wrote an article about a rare Pittsburgh Modular prototype - a 28HP(!) wavetable oscillator with many unique features.

Richard Nicol, in an act of supreme kindness, recently sent one my way and I have filmed my own demonstration video. Let us know if you like the sounds and also, how you'd feel about a Pittsburgh Modular digital revival.
