Exactly. I spotted the potential for subtlety in some of the Loquelic vids despite everyone's tendency to wiggle frantically. Unfortunately mine still languishes in the local sorting officeTumulishroomaroom wrote:The "problem" with the Loquelic is that it's capable of such a wide range of timbres that most tend to push it to its extreme whereas it shines most with subtle (and not all out) modulation. The Iteritas oscillators have so many inputs that it's tempting to use them all at once, however it does not always end up being musical (if musical is what you're after).
The Cursus is a good cure for the "digital noise" of the Loquelic though
That looks really good. Seems to be very low visibility in the UK... does anyone sell them?sendepause wrote:Insider tip:
ACL Variable Sync VCO is top notch!
Build like a tank, high end components and cheaper then Cwejman.
Lot's of people overlook these and they had some name issues (ACL is formerly known as AQA Electrix) but they have there stuff on track now and i can highly recommend their modules.
Old branding, same module from the inside :-)brickman wrote:https://cymrubeats.com/product/aqa-elektrix-up73r-vco/
I agree - this is a way underrated module. It needs some careful work but it can make very natural / acoustic sounds, and it's my very best noise source, as you say. Sometimes I just play the noise and pretend I'm Hawkwind.Telharmonic - A little quirky but I like it's additive capabilities. Also a good noise source

Yeah, two would be awesome. You need another source for the FM and the sync, and another one would be ideal. In fact maybe another two.Tumulishroomaroom wrote:I know the person who sold me my Shapeshifter has bought two of these as a replacement, so they must be very good !
It's so cool that even sometimes it doesn't need any pitch cv or a filter afterwards to sound great, just some tasteful modulation ! How many oscillators can boast that ?cptnal wrote:OK, Folks. Post post script...
No sooner had I got the Loquelic chap installed in the rack when I gets a phone call which necessitates my neglecting wiggles for a couple of days. Here it is (neighbouring blanks to be sorted out this weekend):
Love the way those controls catch the light.
Anyhoo, the new osc found itself parachuted into a part-done patch and after five minutes found a role as a bassist, proving it's not all clanky digital noise:

Subtlety is definitely the key here. I don't think anyone on YouTube gives this oscillator its due by wiggling frantically. The sweet spots are there to be teased out gently with attenuated modulation and envelopes.
It short I am well pleased with my purchase. Thanks once again to everyone who helped. Even if I didn't choose your nomination you gave me plenty to think about.
Has your track a long URL? I had to shorten mine.alexbarbed wrote:Here's mine... it is a lot less cool than your example but while we're having a 'new osc' party...

EDIT: soundcloud embed not working? That's a bit of a buzz killer. Sorry.
Fixed now...cptnal wrote:Has your track a long URL? I had to shorten mine.
