Joranalogue Cycle 5
High-stability 6HP analogue VCO with continuous waveform morphing
6 HP Eurorack module
Cycle 5 is a high-stability triangle-core analogue VCO/VCLFO in 6 HP. Its centrepiece is the vari-wave feature: a single knob (CV-able) morphs one output continuously through sine, triangle, saw, square, and narrow pulse. Instead of a coarse frequency knob, a 7-position octave rotary and a perfect fifth toggle give instant musical tuning—centre Fine Tune at 0V and the module plays C. Dual V/OCT inputs act as a built-in precision adder. Five simultaneous waveform outputs plus hard sync round out a punchy, versatile analogue VCO.
Features
- High-stability triangle-core analogue VCO
- Wide frequency range: 200 mHz to 3.7 kHz (LFO and audio in one module)
- Vari-wave morphing: sine → triangle → saw → square → narrow pulse on a single output
- Vari-Wave CV In accepts audio-rate CV for intense timbral animation
- Pulse Out pulse width linked to vari-wave parameter (50–99% duty cycle)
- Dual V/OCT inputs function as a built-in precision adder
- 7-position octave rotary switch for instant musical pitch setting
- Perfect fifth toggle (+7 semitones) for rapid harmonic transposition
- Fine Tune knob covers 7 semitones total; centred = C at 0V
- Hard sync (Reset In) for classic hard-sync timbres
- Five simultaneous waveform outputs: sine, triangle, saw, pulse, vari-wave
- Novel trigonometric waveshaper for exceptionally clean sine output
