The Pony is a brilliant little module for adding some character to your modular system. It’s perfect for someone wanting a compact, self-contained oscillator with a wavefolder and basic VCA—ideal for experimental soundscapes or building simple drones and textures. The thru-zero wavefolding gives it a unique, slightly aggressive edge that sets it apart from basic VCOs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Befaco's implementation provides a more aggressive and dynamic wavefolding effect, introducing significant harmonic distortion and a distinct 'bite' even at lower settings.
While functional, the VCA is basic; it's best suited for simple amplitude control and isn't designed for intricate envelope shaping or dynamic processing.
The module features a dedicated sync input, allowing you to synchronize its frequency to external clock signals for rhythmic patterns and sequenced modulation.
