At the core of the DNVO-2 is a main VCO built from a complex interaction between two VCOs with different waveforms.
The WARP switch further changes the way these elements interact, allowing the sound to shift significantly even with the movement of a single knob. Rather than requiring the buildup of detailed settings, the structure is designed to produce complex changes through simple operation.
The unit is equipped with an envelope generator. It can receive either irregular triggers made by mixing three different trigger rates, or a regular periodic trigger generated by REPEAT. The envelope generator takes these triggers as the cycle of modulation, shapes the rise and decay times of that movement, and sends it as CV to the VCO, creating changes that differ from simple repetition.
It also contains three sub oscillators with different frequencies. The way each of them is applied has been adjusted in detail, and changing the three levels significantly alters the thickness, movement, and texture of the sound. Depending on the setting, it can produce a wide range of variations, from gentle movement to complex interference.
A noise generator is also included, and this noise can be sent to the VCO to add roughness, instability, and a partial breakdown of the sound’s outline.
The output stage includes a three-band filter section with HI / MID / LO. Each band works in conjunction with a distortion circuit, so rather than functioning as simple tone control, it is designed to strongly emphasize specific frequency ranges while heavily distorting them.
It functions less as a filter for shaping the sound in a conventional way, and more as a circuit for drastically changing its character.
While multiple elements are intricately connected internally, the controls of the DNVO-2 are kept as simple as possible. Even with a small number of operations, it can produce large changes and generate dense, active sound movement.
It is powered by a 9V DC center-negative adapter or a 9V battery. Adapter and battery not included.
