Nano Modules Font

Compact 2-pole VCF with sine VCO self-oscillation

6 HP Eurorack module

FONT is a voltage-controlled 2-pole multimode filter built around a high-quality V2164 IC, offering simultaneous Low Pass and Band Pass outputs. An OTA in the feedback path provides voltage-controlled resonance with soft-limiting for clean self-oscillation, making it usable as a low-distortion sine wave VCO. Its precise 1V/octave tracking and compact 6HP size make it an expressive and space-efficient choice for melodic filtering and oscillator duties.

Features

  • V2164 IC-based 2-pole voltage-controlled filter
  • Simultaneous 2-pole Low Pass (LP2) and 2-pole Band Pass (BP2) outputs
  • 12 dB/octave slope on both outputs
  • OTA in feedback path for voltage-controlled resonance
  • Soft-limiting OTA ensures clean self-oscillation
  • Self-oscillation at approximately 80% of RES knob travel
  • Low-distortion sine wave VCO when self-resonating
  • 1V/octave pitch tracking over 5+ octaves via OCT input
  • CVF attenuverter for bipolar frequency modulation control
  • CVR attenuverter for bipolar resonance modulation control
  • Separate unattenuated OCT input and attenuated CVF input
  • DC-coupled audio input
