It seems a bit abandoned now... All videos about the GVCO are about 3-4 years ago... Are there some news about firmware improvements? Anyway all of these GVCO demos sounds really good.
kickdje for sure it’s similar. But with the additive style wavetable and morph creation, it’s got some serious real-time creation going on. You can watch it flip through options that Serum would take a bit to go through. I love Serum, I’ve made wavetable packs for Serum, but for me it still has a disconnected feel. I’m pondering selling my e352 for this guy. This is just so damn hands on.
Do you plan to include the Erica Synths Graphic VCO in any of your future prebuilt systems? It would be awesome to have it along with the new Erica Synths Black Sequencer as options.
@UnderBridge Rock How do you think this thing is working ? it is a computer with a program inside and even a screen to display information. So instead of running the program directly on a true computer that can make thousands of other things you're buying a computer just to run a simple program. I'm not sure that's the way I see a modular system. And I've got a big one with lot of Erica Synths modules, but analog ones. Once said this module is very capable and can produce interesting sounds. As a VST I'll buy it. Just the program, I already have the computer and the display... (Same problem with Roland Boutique machines.. same computer you buy multiple times with a different program for the same DSP...).
@UnderBridge Rock I think you don't know what you're speaking about... The graphic VCO is not just a screen connected to an analog VCO... it is a WAVETABLE VCO, so something ENTIRELY digital so ALL the sound is computed by a DSP and a program (so called firmware). It is not a problem, I've got Erica Synths Black Wavetable VCO for example, this kind of sound can be useful sometimes, but this is not a reason to talk rubbish :-) Please RTFM : www.ericasynths.lv/shop/eurorack-modules/by-series/graphic-series/graphic-vco/ How to think a "VCO" can have such characteristics still being "analog" ? It is just a computer. They even supplies "32 classic wavetables included" as the doc is saying. What is a "classical Wavetable" ? Just a bunch of signals pre-computed on another machine and stored in a memory, that are recalled by the DSP to play them back. Just a computer + a sampler player... Nothing analog in this module... Sorry.
Graphic VCO2 should have a touchscreen so wavetables can be created with the slide of the finger then saved in a bank! I've always wanted something like that. Maybe there is already a way to do that with a touchpad module and something else?
John Doe a company called elk audio created a raspberry pi module for vst programs that has 3ms of delay. Digital hardware is going to be wild in the next few years, especially when the economy recovers.
Replaced my Shapeshifter with the Graphic VCO. Happier now as it does the glassy morphing much better. As a side note, it would be nice if the TUNE knob had a setting where it could be set to do 1 or 2 octaves across its range (as an option) and make it faster to tune the osc as the massive range is a bit fiddly to dial in correctly as it is. Just sayin'. Also, would be nice if the module remembered its state upon power up. In any case, brilliant osc for live case, thanks!
