The Prime Mover is a seriously capable oscillator module, built around a classic CEM3340. Its waveshaping and sync capabilities give it a lot of character, making it ideal for experimental sound design or anyone wanting a solid, vintage-flavored core for their modular system. It’s a great value for what you get.
Product Description

PROS
- • CEM3340 chip delivers classic, rich analogue warmth.
- • Extensive waveshaping offers a huge palette of sonic textures.
- • Hard/soft sync capabilities unlock complex, evolving sounds.
- • Sub-oscillator provides a powerful low-end foundation.
CONS
- • Limited modulation options beyond the waveshaper CV input.
- • The CEM3340 can be a little microphonic if not handled carefully.
- • Depth might be restrictive in shallower Eurorack cases.

Frequently Asked Questions
It's fairly straightforward; the attenuator provides a good degree of control, but lacks complex mapping or advanced modulation destinations.
It's a common CEM3340 variant, generally known for its stable tuning and warm, slightly creamy sound – not a particularly specialized revision, but a reliable workhorse.
While 57mA isn't excessive, it's important to ensure your power supply has sufficient headroom, especially if running other power-hungry modules simultaneously.
