The STO is a seriously useful little oscillator, especially if you're building a modular around deep bass and evolving tones. Its core sine wave is gorgeous, and the sub oscillator really packs a punch. Perfect for ambient sound designers, experimental musicians, or anyone wanting a solid foundation for complex modulation.

Product Description

  • Make Noise STO
  • Eurorack Module
  • Analogue voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) for generating sine waves
  • variable waveforms
  • sub-octaves
  • oscillator SYNC and linear FM in the analogue domain
  • Triangle-based with outputs for SINE
  • SUB and Variable SHAPELinear FM input with depth control
  • EXPOnential input for deep FM
  • SYNC sweeps or transposition of sequences
  • SUB oscillator for maximum bass response
  • S-Gate input for Gating or Sync by SUB-Osc
  • Current consumption: 40mA @ + 12V
  • 30mA @ -12V
  • Dimensions (W x D): 8 HP x 30 mm
PROS
  • • Warm, rich sine wave foundation for evolving soundscapes
  • • Sub oscillator delivers genuinely powerful and deep low-end
  • • Linear FM input offers surprising complexity and tonal variation
  • • Compact 8HP footprint makes it ideal for space-constrained racks
CONS
  • • Variable waveform shaping can be a bit fiddly to dial in precisely
  • • Limited waveform selection compared to more complex oscillators
  • • SYNC input can be a bit sensitive to triggering signals

Frequently Asked Questions

The STO's variable shaping is more subtle and triangle-based, offering a gentler evolution compared to Plaits' more complex wavetables.
Absolutely, the SYNC input is great for creating stepped sequences or rhythmic sweeps, though you'll need to experiment with trigger signal strength.
It's a dedicated sub-octave oscillator, providing a distinct, more fundamental bass response that complements the main oscillator's tones.
