I wasn't looking for a complete STG system, but it makes me really happy to see one. And though it's not a big system with lots of different modules, each module was developed over time on its own to fill a specific need. The VCO seems to aim at how people actually use tricore analog VCOs and has practical controls and ranges for use rather than aiming at feature glut. Not that feature glut is bad. Anyway, the resulting system of modules that have arrived one by one over the years into the Radiophonic One comes across as an elegant compact synth with tons of character. I couldn't imagine a better name to suit that character. And I'm always happy to see Suit & Guy, especially on Sonic State!

I have his SEA DEVIL FILTER - one of the best filters I've heard.

That EG is one of my favorites, it's really great.

[erikribeiro]

What is this wave slicer you speak of... Or don't speak of?

[BenA]

Very interesting! He sounds like someone who’s had his heart broken by analogue VCOs more than once!

[knewy]

also i'd like to thank sonic state for being so supportive so... 'you're familiar with the Bathroom Buddy? It's the invention of the century, friend. It eliminates the need to carry heavy luggage and things when you travel. You got yourself your shaving mirror, you got yourself your toothbrush, you got yourself a toothpick. You got toenail clippers, you got a nail file, and you got yourself a dental mirror. This is gonna revolutionize traveling '

[soundofmonolith]

normal or abnormal ? haha he lost Control :)

[Kkidzz]

Nope, Boot & Thigh is Kiddieland vs Superbooth.

STG, you are very cool and I respect your experience, but can you please give up that stupid and utterly false line about Knobcon? "The world's only synthesizer convention." No, that is not true..Superbooth is another one, and it's much larger.
Not really sold on the digital tuning system of the VCO and the claim that it's the "most advanced VCO in the world." More hyperbole. Look at the ACL/AQA VCO for an example of a very high end, amazingly good, amazingly versatile VCO that using a potentiometer for ultra precise tuning, and none of this stepping stuff, all analogue.
