The Pico VCO2 is a fantastic little workhorse for Eurorack users. It delivers a surprisingly stable and usable VCO in a tiny package, perfect for adding a core sound source to smaller or space-constrained modular systems. If you're just starting out or need a reliable, budget-friendly VCO, this is a great option.

Frequently Asked Questions
The tracking is surprisingly good for its price point; it's stable enough for most melodic applications, though very precise microtonal work might reveal slight discrepancies.
While versatile, its limited waveform selection means it's best used as a supporting voice rather than the sole oscillator in intricate patches.
The PWM is adjustable, allowing you to subtly shape the pulse width or create more dramatic, sync-like effects, though it's not a full-range modulation with extreme depth.
