LMNC #1222 VCO in Eurorack

I am incredibly excited to announce this project. I made a new Eurorack module and it’s for sale now:

I was more than a little tempted to Megadrone the whole batch before boxing :joy:. First run has signed and numbered stickers. #13 and #42 get an extra sticker.

That is truly excellent. I don’t have a Euro system but I might just pick one up to put it next to its big brother. Well done!

Edit: oh maybe not I forgot the, er, liberal wallet impact of Eurorack. Oh well.

Actually…

Where was that? Assuming that’s a PCB kit? I was very “oooh” initially

It’s the Kosmo size PCB kit from Sam’s shop. It would be cool to have a DIY SMD Eurorack version though.

We’re looking into it. Wanted to get the built one out first.

Cool I’ll keep an eye out!

PRODUCT DETAILS

LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER #1222 PERFORMANCE VCO

Taking their first step into the Eurorack market with a stellar sound, the #1222 Performance VCO from Look Mum No Computer is an analog VCO packed with sound shaping tools and performance-style functions. Easily start with great timbres from the three waveshape outputs, a variable pulse out that can be manually adjusted as well as CV modulated, and further the tone shaping by frequency modulating and hard syncing to other oscillators for gnarly and ripping sounds. Tuning the #1222 is very responsive with the 7-segment LED with flat and sharp indication, and performing pitch changes from the oscillator itself is solid with a five-octave range on the octave switch and a full octave of fine tuning that can be modulated separately from the 1V/Oct input. With customization and refining trimmers on the front panel for quick and easy access to center frequency, highs, and tracking, the #1222 Performance VCO brings the warm and solid tones of analog synthesis from the start of any sound.

#1222 PERFORMANCE VCO FEATURES

  • Analog VCO module
  • Eurorack adaptation of Look Mum No Computer’s Kosmo format module
  • Variable coarse and fine tuning for octave switching and note-centering
  • Tuner panel helps tell you if your notes are flat, sharp, or in tune
  • Fine tune control can be modulated from CV input with attenuator
  • Three waveshape outputs (square, saw, triangle)
  • Square output has a variable pulse width control with PWM input and attenuator
  • FM and hard sync input for waveshaping output
  • 1V/Oct tracking
  • Four front facing trimmers for managing center frequency, reverence voltage, tracking, and high frequency adjustments

You’ve done wonderfully on putting all the 5U into 3U with nothing significant missing. I’m more into Kosmo but I can tell my direction will take a side route because I want something smaller and cute. I will have a micro case so I must restrict myself to one 1222.

So Awesome.
Hope to save up and get a couple.

We all want one but I see it as a strategy where people who own Eurorack see these and we’ll tell them about the good word of Kosmo (and then they’ll mock our height disparity.)

It’s what’s on the inside that counts.
