Explanation of Doepfer A-110 VCO (Softube Modular)
This is yosi from Chillout with Beats.
These days I'm busy with time.
In such a case, it is becoming a standard to escape to Google Translate material, but it is a practice to improve the understanding of modularity.
I have also written a review of Softube Modular, so if you are interested, please check it out as well.
The Doepfer A-110 VCO is a standard module in Softube Modular.

Overview
The oscillator is the tone generator, which is the most basic component of a synthesizer. The Doepfer A-110 can generate four different waveforms, each with its own harmonic spectrum.
parameter
Range: Range:Octave offset in the range of 5 octaves
Tune:When playing A3 from a MIDI keyboard, tweak the entire note and adjust preset setting 1 to 5 Hz.
CV2:Sets the amount of CV modulation of the incoming signal on CV2.Fully turn the knob clockwise to the 1v / octave range.
PW:This knob sets the duty cycle of the pulse wave.Preset setting 5 is 50%, also known as a square wave.
PW CV2:This knob controls the amount of pulse width modulation by the incoming CV on the PW CV2 jack.
input
SYNC: The incoming signal on this jack resets the oscillator, also known as the hard sync of other synthesizers.
CV1: Pitch CV control, full range 1v / octave.Note Connect the CV from MIDI to the CV converter module to this jack.
CV2: CV modulation input connected to the CV2 knob (see above)
PW CV1: CV pulse width, full range control
PW CV2: CV control of pulse width connected to the PW CV2 knob (see above)
Output
Saw:This jack produces a jarring, clear sound that includes sawtooth waves and both even and odd harmonics.
Pulse:This jack outputs a hollow variable pulse wave rather than a sawtooth wave containing almost odd harmonics when the pulse width is 50% (PW knob is set to 5).
Triangle:This jack outputs a triangular wave.This is a very hollow sound suitable for synthesizing flute, vibe and organ sounds.
Sine:This jack outputs a sine wave.A sine wave is a waveform that contains only the fundamental wave and does not include overtones.Therefore, it is not suitable for subtractive synthesis (shaping the sound with a filter).
I looked at the waveform, but if it's a low sound, it feels like the sine wave is crushed a little.I think this is the cause of the fat sound.

Doepfer A-110 VCO Summary
Even a sound that does not pass anything is still thick.
If you make a base with a sine wave, it will be a little distorted and it will be interesting.
