A great starting vca, and a great tool to more extensive rack due to the LFO as it can crossmod and make a fair few shapes. However it is on the small side so it can get crowded, but that's part of the charm

One of the best start VCOs

Jon Mayo 04.03.2024

This tiny little CEM3340 based oscillator is my #1 recommendation for someone looking into getting to Eurorack modular. It has all the key functionality and takes up little HP. And it can be useful to supplement a larger multi-voice patch.

The quality of Doepfer's knobs is perhaps the best in the industry. Their modules, including this one, are deep and won't fit some shallow skiffs. So check the depth!

Features I think are important for a good starter VCO that this VCO has. 1V/Oct tracking over a wide number of octaves (15 octaves according to Doepfer!). Exponential FM input, for 2OP-like FM sounds with another oscillator. Linear frequency modulation for vibrato effects. Soft and hard sync (I use hard sync mostly, so I have the jumper set there).

Or buy 2, and a noise generator (Doepfer A-118-2) and start making your own drum sounds.

It's fine

No nonsense product. I'm using other oscillators so this one is really good for modulating them at all kinds of rates. I can't quite figure out how to get the LFO down to the 0.001Hz (more like 0.05) but it may be possible using an external source.
