The Precision VCO (PCO) is a legendary oscillator module by Serge that offers vintage sound with remarkable precision. This modular synth module has four waveform outputs, both linear and exponential frequency modulation capabilities, and an extended range from audio to sub-audio frequencies. Its excellent response, tracking, and stability make it ideal for use with other modules like NTO. The module features two calibrated one volt per octave inputs, a variable processing input, and a sync input for synchronizing with other oscillators. The Serge PCO is the only authorized version of the classic design.
