FAQs

What makes the Intellijel Rubicon2 unique compared to other VCOs?

The Intellijel Rubicon2 features a triangle core design with through-zero frequency modulation, allowing for complex FM synthesis and rich harmonic content that other VCOs may not offer.

How does the through-zero FM feature benefit my modular synth setup?

Through-zero FM on the Rubicon2 allows for more dynamic and complex modulation possibilities, providing deeper and more varied sound textures than standard linear or exponential FM.

Is the Rubicon2 suitable for use as an LFO in my Eurorack system?

Yes, the Rubicon2 can function as an LFO, offering a wide range of frequency modulation capabilities that enhance its versatility in any Eurorack setup.

What are the power requirements for the Intellijel Rubicon2 module?

The Rubicon2 requires a standard Eurorack power supply, consuming approximately +12V: 100mA and -12V: 85mA, making it compatible with most Eurorack systems.

Can the Rubicon2 be used in a polyphonic setup?

While the Rubicon2 is primarily designed for monophonic use, it can be integrated into a polyphonic setup by using multiple modules, each handling a single voice.
