  1. Sputnik Modular's Variable Waveform Generator: A Buchla-Inspired Discrete Oscillator with Unique Animation Controls

    Sputnik Modular's Variable Waveform Generator is a Buchla-inspired discrete oscillator that offers unique animation controls, including a built-in waveshaper, saw animator, and drive circuits with attenuation amount inputs. The module features five dedicated audio outputs, linear and exponential FM inputs with attenuators, and good tracking. It also has a VCO/LFO switch and hard sync, which can work with any waveform for varied effects. Users can adjust the level of wave-folding, produce symmetrical and asymmetrical wave-folding effects, control the position of additional saw waves for animation, and more.
