Supercritical Demon Core Oscillator Overview

View this description in Danish

The Supercritical Demon Core Oscillator is a cutting-edge piece of music equipment that harnesses the power of the MDCO (Multiperiod Digitally Controlled Oscillator) innovation. This groundbreaking technology allows a single analog oscillator core to produce multiple simultaneous waves with precise pitch and phase control, resulting in an impressive 16 separate analog voices that can be individually manipulated.


What sets this oscillator apart is its ability to finely tune each voice, offering a range of options for sound creation. With the digital tuning mode, the voices can be set to strict and precise intervals. Alternatively, the oscillator can be configured to dynamically detune each voice, allowing for a spread effect that creates rich and complex waveforms. For those seeking a more vintage sound, the core stability control can be adjusted to emulate the behaviour of classic DCO and VCO synthesizers from the 80s.


The Demon Core Oscillator boasts saw and pulse waves as its basic building blocks, complete with pulse width modulation (PWM) capabilities. However, the flexibility doesn't stop there. By combining two or more unison waves and triggering the phase sync via the sync trigger input, users can create even more intricate and unique waveforms. Not only does this produce interesting harmonics, but it also allows for the creation of massive bass synthesizer sounds when used in conjunction with spread and gate signals.

Stacks of sound

Add some power to your modular rack. The Supercritical Demon Core Oscillator bridges the gap between classic and unique in its sonic palette. There are 16 wavesforms for you to choose from and they can be stacked, either in unison or octaves. Adding width to your modular synth's voicing. From sawtooth to pulse waveforms, the scope for creative sound design is huge. The module features static detune which can add interesting characteristics to your patches.
