Endorphin.es Furthrrrr Generator

Analog dual complex oscillator with through-zero FM and wavefolder

30 HP Eurorack module

The Furthrrrr Generator is an analog dual-oscillator complex oscillator inspired by classic West Coast architecture. It features two independent VCOs (carrier and modulator) with through-zero FM, hard and soft sync, a built-in wavefolder, and a modulation bus. The module excels at creating rich harmonic timbres through its extensive cross-modulation capabilities.
