Cre8Audio Capt'n BIG-O oscillator review

[@billB101]

It's really nice that we're seeing Euorack modules of this standard coming down to sensible ( hobby ) prices. Makes it so much easier on the old bank balance.

[@BeniRoseMusic]

Damn, I wasn't that sold on this until you patched that fold into the drive and it just RIPPED!! Color me impressed!

[@Tregrense]

Well done and thank you. I just bought two of these oscillators and they are excellent. Designer Richard Nichol knows his craft! Your videos were where I heard of Cre8audio. I have two BIG-Os and a Function Junction in a NiftyKEYZ now.

[@Dogboy73]

Sounds bloody ace!! Looks like my kind of module - plenty of controls and CV, no screen or menu diving at all. Perfect. I think I want one ;-)

[@MoltenMusicTech]

Yeah, it does

[@Dogboy73]

insanely good and good value module, really cant be beat, long live pittsburgh modular

[@AndyVonal]

I've come back for another look. I really cannot understand why I "dismissed" this, on first hearing. It just shows how rubbish I am... I really enjoyed my second listen! This thing is nuts and great value. Yet another module to add to the list of future purchases I can't afford right now (because I've spent up!). Great job, as usual, Robin!

[@mimsyelectronicmusic]

Great demo, thanks.

[@jammystraub488]

That's incredible competition for the Makenoise STO, ALM MCO, and Instruo Ts-L.

[@zpinkLondonBelow]

Nice demo, thanks! I may end up with a 2nd case now though, I thought I were done with EuroGAS! hahaha

[@benbauer1065]

I'm literally here thinking the same. I want this but I just realized I finally filled all the space in my current Cre8 audio case. Just seeing this module has me immediately considering a second case haha. It's never going to stop. It's bad.

[@scandalousbeans2591]

When I take my headphones off after a long modular session on vcv rack all the sound I hear is like flanger noise for a little bit? is that normal

[@KisaVorobyaninovDesu]

YES

[@xisotopex]

for a beginner should I get this or the behringer 110vco/vca/vcf? would the big-o be considered a complete synth voice? seems like its got the important stuff

[@MoltenMusicTech]

The Big-O has some waveshaper and overdrive but it's a sound source - it doesn't have a VCA or envelope to make it into a full synth voice.

[@benbauer1065]

This captain big I will sound better but you would a vca, filter and envelope still.

[@jammystraub488]

There's an adjustment on the back to turn the overdrive into a VCA! Support the small manufacturers.! 😉

[@JeffHopkinsMusic]

Love Pittsburgh, and this sounds like a great oscillator, but I’ve got three Primary Oscillators and a couple Crows and I’m not the target market for this module….. sounds up to pbh standards for sure though.

[@xisotopex]

when I first saw the module I thought it was chairman mao

[@AndrewPRoberts]

Damn if this were the same size as Cellz I would swap it right now

[@Klocaine237]

The captain looks like you

[@morgan0]

i’m happy to see things of quality from them finally. chipz was… technically an oscillator, but not really usable. the unit i got honestly sounded worse than the one you reviewed lol

[@morgan0]

i kinda hope they either improve cellz or make a new better sequencer and then replace the niftybundle with that, captain big o, and mr phil ter. even if it cost $100 more it would be a far better deal.

[@Dogboy73]

....... Just tried to buy one after watching this. They sell direct from website but don't ship to Australia. Boooo! Will have to wait for a more local retailer ;-) Definitely getting one though. Sounds flippin awesome to my ears. And a fantastic price as well. Awesome ;-)

[@Dogboy73]

…….. ordered one. Hooray! 👍

[@marc.w.7692]

... über stil brauchen wir uns wohl nicht unterhalten... schön ein original zu sehen...

[@xnaut_g]

N1

[@benbauer1065]

It sounds amazing and packed with features at that price! I'm so lame though. I honestly can't decide if I want to buy just because the looks of it would throw of my entire beautiful all silver system. I'm shallow. Haha. I still might get it anyways but damn. Why does it have to look so dumb. ?

[@jammystraub488]

Spray paint it silver and write the labels on with sharpie, Look Mum No Computer style 😆

[@frenziedcurtain]

Looks symmetrical. I might try flipping it over.
