The Three Body is a seriously powerful oscillator module for those who want to dive deep into frequency and phase modulation. It's a bit dense to learn initially, but the sonic rewards – shimmering textures, chaotic rhythms – are well worth the effort. Ideal for experimental sound designers and anyone seeking a unique, highly flexible oscillator voice.

Product Description

  • Schlappi Engineering Three Body
  • Eurorack Module
  • Digital triple oscillator
  • Specialised in frequency and phase modulation
  • One control knob per oscillator for coarse and fine-tuning and FM intensity
  • Each oscillator has 8 selectable operating modes for free tuning or by ratio
  • LFO/VCO mode
  • linear or exponential FM and phase modulation
  • Internal normalisations for mutual FM
  • phase modulation and tracking allow already complex sounds without patch cables
  • CV inputs for all parameters
  • Pitch CV inputs (1V/oct.) and sync input per oscillator
  • Outputs for sine
  • triangle
  • sawtooth and square for the outer oscillators
  • Outputs for sine
  • cosine
  • triangle
  • sawtooth
  • cosaw and square for centre oscillator
  • Power consumption: 95mA (+12V) / 50mA (-12V)
  • Width: 30 TE
  • Depth: 30 mm
PROS
  • • Exceptional FM capabilities offer complex, evolving textures.
  • • Internal normalizations streamline patching for immediate sonic exploration.
  • • Versatile oscillator modes cater to both subtle and extreme modulation.
  • • Dense waveform selection on the center oscillator expands sonic palette.
CONS
  • • 30HP footprint can be restrictive in smaller Eurorack cases.
  • • Steep learning curve for users unfamiliar with advanced FM techniques.
  • • Limited overall modulation destinations compared to larger modules.

Frequently Asked Questions

While dual oscillators offer basic functionality, the Three Body's internal normalizations and extensive modulation options create far more intricate and evolving sounds, demanding more technical understanding.
They're genuinely helpful for quickly creating complex sounds without a massive patch cable setup, acting as a launchpad for more advanced patching once you’re comfortable.
Yes, the inclusion of cosine and cosaw waveforms offers unique harmonic content and timbre possibilities not found on the outer oscillators, adding a distinct character.
