TUNABLE PARAMETERS BREAKDOWN:
COMPLEXITY: Essentially a generation of unique timbre.
ROUNDNESS: Set the basic shape of your waveform. Go from from sharp to soft sound, similar to filtering.
HARMONICS: Add up to 6 harmonies to your sound. The choir's here.
FORMANTS: Accentuate certain overtones in your sound (like a voice singing "ooo", "ahh", "eee").
DETUNE: Add a classic 'detune' with a changing phase wave for extra wide sound.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
It is a pipeline of algorithms, which generates and modifies a waveform starting from top to bottom. Rosci works on a principle of key points: the generate button generates key point location and amplitudes to be passed down the pipeline.
Tunable parameters:
Beginning with complexity, you set the number of key points (even numbers only to create a waveform). Lowest complexity sets two points, and highest complexity sets up to 20 points. The number of key points will vary with each waveform generated. From there, the roundness sets the type of interpolation of the key points, from square to sine. Adjusting the harmonics creates copies of the waveform and adds them to the original waveform at double, triple, ... up to 6x the base frequency. Formants maintains the frequency of the wave, but squishes it so there is 'empty space' in between (this is also called pulsar synthesis). Finally, detune copies the waveform and 'detunes it' by increasing the frequency ever so slightly. And there you have it: a unique Rosci soundscape :)

I am feelin' this Rosci, fully. Absolutely delightful sounding module.

I've had mine for around a week, and I love it. Very unique way to create waves, very musical and versatile. Easy to get great sounding stuff. The team at Omnitone is the best! Very friendly, responsive and clearly love what they do. I don't see why this is not in every rack!

[defjeff]

I received mine yesterday and it's a literal kaleidoscope of colors and waveforms!! Beautiful!! Back to my headphones.

[willswitchcraft]

.ca??!!! Making me proud to be a harmonics and

[Tofu_Pilot]

111.7 quadrillion waveforms, is that all? Are you even trying? ;) I don't know what a perfect 1/5 is but, what I hear is sort of a chord so, it's awesome.

[yakmage]

I’m very excited about this. In my imagination I’m very good at using this. In reality I’m not a musician at all and I not sure why I keep watching synth videos. I can’t be the only one.

[neonmelk]

Nothing like smiles and giggling as the ultimate proof of passion for sound creation.
Good luck with this, that's very cool.

[turbotambourine]

Looks and sounds awesome! And also, super smart drawing out those waveforms!

[translucent_nick]

Almost like wavetables 🤭
Love the demo - I would love to hear what's gonna be if you use the Rosci oscillator to cross modulate filters or other oscillators - be ready for these crazy bleeps !!!

[zachhoy]

can't wait to get into hardware at some point, I want one

[ShankatsuForte]

if I get into modular this might be one of my first modules, I love it so much

Ya'll are some wallet tempters

[rayderrich]

Tristan should be very happy to have you, Liz, as you bring smiles and humanity back into the rack. Lovely module!

[repairerofreputationsmusic]

Sounds/looks interesting. I would love to hear it under extensive modulation.

[Kyle-wbwx]

Sold out! x( When will you have the next batch? :)

[CinematicLaboratory]

Ingenius, ingenous.. Ingenerous... Ingenious! Amazing concept.

[NickHchaos]

I'm not too interested in digital oscillators myself (bucking current trends), but it's always good to see more Canadian synth companies.

[kaitlyn__L]

Ooh! I've not seen anything like this sold new before!

I've seen some vintage 70s hybrid things which were largely built from DIY projects, and had 4, 6, or 8 steps of which the amplitudes could be set by the user. Which needed an oscilloscope to be most-useful but definitely allowed for "digital" sounding timbres even with that analogue gear. (Like these ones, or emulating, say, an NES' steppy triangle wave.)

But I've thought for a while that we could definitely do with something self-contained that does a similar task, with similar customisability, today.

Since stuff like the Prophet VS or Korg DW waves can have a similar timbre, but aren't really customisable in the same way. And modern wave-table or wave-morphing synths are really built more around crunchy complex progressions, rather than just making your own cool timbre to your own desire.

(I think some recent Rolands have "drawn" waves as an option, which are probably very similar to that 70s method, but of course don't have the generative abilities of this module! And if you don't need a groovebox or another SH101 emulation, it's like, welp.)

I really like the little animated diagrams of the waves as well! They were sooo cute ✨

[MetaverseAdventures]

I appreciate your knowledge on sound synthisis. Clearly a passion.

[companyofquail]

really great idea, nice work. wishing you much success.

[pavilionman]

Rosci is a bit sweet name for a such raw industrial aesthetic, i would call her Grizzli 🐻 xd
