The Rides In The Storm BOC is a serious oscillator for adventurous Eurorack users. Its discrete design delivers a raw, analog character, and the extensive modulation capabilities open up a world of possibilities for sound design. This module is perfect for those seeking a versatile and gritty oscillator foundation for experimental soundscapes and evolving textures.

Product Description

  • Rides In The Storm BOC
  • Eurorack Module
  • Big Discrete Analog Oscillator
  • Controls for coarse and fine tuning
  • Adjustable pulse width (0 - 100%) with CV input and attenuator for pulse-width modulation
  • Soft sync input with adjustable threshold (modulable via CV input) and additional hard sync input
  • CV inputs with attenuator for linear and exponential FM
  • Pitch CV input (1V/oct.)
  • 4 Separate sub-oscillator outputs (1/2
  • 3/4) with adjustable pulse width as well as CV input and attenuator for pulse-width modulation
  • Selectable waveform for sub-oscillators 1/2 and 1/4 (triangle
  • sawtooth
  • square)
  • Wavefolder with CV input and separate audio output
  • Waveform outputs for sine
  • triangle
  • sawtooth and pulse
  • Gravity output with a mixture of different waveforms and an XOR ring modulator
  • Power consumption: 70mA (+12V) / 70mA (-12V)
  • Width: 12 U
  • Depth: 25 mm
PROS
  • • Discrete analog design yields a rich, complex, and characterful sound.
  • • Extensive modulation options—pulse width, sync, FM—allow for dynamic soundscapes.
  • • Sub-oscillators offer a surprising amount of sonic flexibility and low-end depth.
  • • Wavefolder adds harmonic richness and grit; a useful sculpting tool.
CONS
  • • Discrete circuitry can be prone to drift and require occasional calibration.
  • • The sheer number of features might feel overwhelming for beginners.
  • • Limited waveform selection on the sub-oscillators; triangle and sawtooth only.

Frequently Asked Questions

Discrete circuits offer more harmonic complexity and a 'rounder' feel; they’re often less sterile, but require more careful tuning.
It's a complex blend of the main oscillator's waveforms, often with the wavefolder applied, resulting in a dense, evolving sound—expect a mix of harmonics and grit.
While powerful, the learning curve can be steep. It's best suited for those with some modular experience who are comfortable exploring modulation and synthesis techniques.
