The Banshee Reach is a serious contender for anyone wanting a versatile and expressive VCO. It’s a fantastic value for the depth of modulation possibilities, especially if you’re into experimental sound design or need a powerful, flexible core oscillator for patch-heavy setups. It’s perfect for sound designers and experimental musicians.
Product Description
- Shakmat Modular Banshee Reach
- Eurorack Module
- Analogue VCO with digital control
- Through-Zero frequency modulation and phase modulation
- Shape control for crossfading from sine to triangle and sawtooth to square/pulse
- Shape CV input with an attenuator that also serves as a waveshaper
- Adjustable sub-oscillator
- switchable from -1 to -2 octaves
- Controls for coarse and fine-tuning and switchable octave mode
- Hard-sync and soft-sync selectable
- Switchable LFO mode
- Disorder mode modulates the VCO core with a digital random voltage (suitable for atonal sounds and drum sounds)
- Pitch input (1V/oct.) and linear FM input
- CV inputs for all parameters
- Vari output with mix of shape waveform (with square wave or PWM) and sub-oscillator
- Pulse
- sawtooth and sine outputs
- Power consumption: 92mA (+12V) / 52mA (-12V)
- Width: 8 U
- Depth: 21 mm
- • Exceptional through-zero FM/PM capabilities for complex, evolving tones.
- • Shape control offers genuinely musical crossfading between waveforms.
- • Disorder mode delivers unpredictable, atonal textures easily.
- • Sub-oscillator adds significant low-end richness and sonic flexibility.
- • 92mA draw can be significant in power-constrained racks.
- • Limited waveform shaping beyond the core shape control.
- • The plastic knobs, while functional, feel a bit budget-oriented.
