Description

Edit description

For those seeking a distinctive edge in their modular synth setup, the Metasonix R-54 Supermodule VCO/VCF is a standout choice. This unique module combines a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) and voltage-controlled filter (VCF) in one compact unit, offering a broad palette of sonic possibilities. With its twin pentode vacuum tubes, it delivers a raw and warm sound that is hard to replicate with solid-state circuits. Unlike conventional oscillators, the R-54 features a sine wave output that can morph into a waveshaped signal, providing a unique texture to your soundscapes.

The filter section of the R-54 extends its versatility with a range of self-oscillating capabilities, enabling the creation of both subtle and aggressive tones. The module's tuning stability, combined with its distinctive timbral qualities, has made it a favorite among experimental musicians and sound designers. Designed for seamless integration, the R-54 is Eurorack compatible, making it easy to incorporate into your existing setup.

Key Features:

Combines VCO and VCF in a single module
Twin pentode vacuum tubes for warm, organic sound
Morphing sine wave to waveshaped output
Self-oscillating filter with versatile tonal capabilities
Eurorack compatible for easy integration
Ideal for experimental music production and sound design
