Compact Multi Synth Voice.
The MCO mk II is a highly versatile digital VCO and voice module inspired by 90s/00s digital synths shrunk into just 6HP.
It offers a broad collection of unique, high-quality synth voices, each with extensive, customizable parameters. These parameters can be directly controlled or modulated through assignable internal and external sources. Certain per-voice parameters support audio-rate modulation, including FM, sync, and DSP. Each voice also supports up to four-voice chords, external-triggered envelopes, multiple LFOs, and dual audio outputs for comprehensive desktop-like synth functionality.
Voices include a multi dimensional wavetable oscillator based on the original MCO, a complex additive synthesis engine, a multi mode ’JP’ type digi-synth, a lush virtual analog implementation, a fully featured vocoder, a bass synth for both kicks and sub sonic tones and finally a rebirth and porting of our discontinued SID GUTs chip voice.
Each voice includes factory presets as well as the ability to store and recall user presets. All state is preserved across power cycles. The MCO is designed to be familiar, quick and easy to use with a high resolution colour display and a rich visual user interface.
A USB-C connection allows for easy firmware updates, user wavetables upload and device
config backup and restore. Axon expander modules are also supported to increase CV control options.
Voices:
- DigiWave - Wavetable Oscillator
The DigiWave is a wavetable based voice that produces two simultaneous morphing waveforms from a factory or user uploaded wavetable bank. The waves can be combined in multiple different ways with pulse width modulation available across all shapes. Custom wavetables can be uploaded via USB.
- ToneSum - Additive Synthesis
The ToneSum is an additive based voice that produces a range of physical and organic sounding tones entirely from twelve combined sine waves. This distinct voice can produce anything from bright, glassy sounds to woody plucks or eerie inharmonic sweeps.
- BC8000 - Variable mode digital synthesis
The BC8000 is a multimode synthesiser voice inspired by the specialty oscillator types available in the classic JP8000 synthesiser. It can produce an array of different textures and sounds from its Supersaw, Triangle Mod, Noise and Feedback oscillator modes.
- Virtana - 90s Analog emulation
The Virtana is a 90s style dual oscillator ’virtual-analog’ synthesiser voice great for producing classic subtractive sounds with bright digital clarity, excelling at thick detuned bass, dual oscillator chords, stirring PWM sounds and bright leads.
- Sylon - Vocoder
The Sylon is a feature packed vocoder and FFT-based-reconstruction voice that produces rich robotic and harmonic sounds based on any source patched to the MCO’s External input.
- Oomph - Bass tone and drum synth
The Oomph is a one of a kind kick drum and bass FM synthesiser voice designed to produce powerful modern basses and tonal percussion sounds.
- SID Guts - SID Chip Emulation
The SID GUTS voice is a C64 style SID chip emulation based on our (now out of production) SID GUTS and SID GUTS DELUXE modules. This classic voice offers distinct lo-fi digital charm with aliased waves, pitched digital noise, a digital ring mod and sync for tones reminiscent of classic 80s computer game music.
