Future Sound Systems OSC2 Recombination Engine // a UNIQUE triple analogue Eurorack oscillator

[@RobinRimbaudScanner]

That section around 24-25 mins is utterly beautiful. Reminded me a little of the possibilities with something like NI Reaktor but in hardware. Damn impressive!

[@darksparklermusic]

I was just going to comment about that section as well. Very pretty!

[@precarious333music]

What an insane module. So much potential and complexity. Don't know how you didn't get overwhelmed coming up with an overview but you certainly pulled it off.

[@MSPatterson]

Wow. Definitely agree that this looks like a future classic. Huge depth and versatility, all accessible on the surface.

[@TayTayMakesBeats]

Probably not for me but unbelievably cool. Love seeing all the unorthodox and creative stuff people are coming up with. Definitely one of the most inspiring and fun parts of eurorack for me.

[@TRUEiMPROrecords]

Coolest thing in a while! Has kind of a signature sound while doing a lot if different stuff. Future classic module I bet.

[@melanatedmantra6607]

Wow some really sick, gritty, gnarly sounds. I love it already.

[@haydnr1631]

Nice, unique piece of kit. Excellent review/demo/presentation. I'm really tempted to buy one!

[@nutritionalyeast7978]

This has gotta be the most exciting new VCO concept I've seen in a long time! Refreshing in the midst of all the 259-inpired oscs! woulda liked too see more of shapes available with the sync on, like could you get a clean-ish sine and what would PWM be like with that turned on? but yeah u covered a lot of ground v interesting :D

[@futuresoundsystems]

Thank you! Yes - you can get clean(ish) sines, triangles and saws from setting the oscillators in unison with Sync Lock on. We tried setting the PWM Skew as -precisely- / mathematically as possible, and it actually wasn't as sonically interesting as having it set very extreme - we've opted for the latter ;)

good times! interesting module

[@dmartin_sound]

Digging the new layout and design of this video with in-depth written descriptions with some of the patch examples Makes for great pacing with content that varies over time. The markers and diagrams are also simple and excellent ways to direct the eye and keep people further engaged. Will you be implementing these design techniques more frequently in future videos? As someone just starting out doing module videos and content, I'll be keeping these things in mind. Awesome sounds and very fresh way to approach VCOs and sound sculpting at the source. Cheers!

This had better not be an April Fool's joke, because I need it NOW!

[@Nick-kb6jd]

I still think this is a criminally underated Oscillator. Or underpopular maybe is more accurate.

[@DivKid]

Hi Nick, I think so too. Unique way to make your own wave forms, highly modulate-able, shape-able sounds great, tracks well. Totally deserves more attention.

[@Nick-kb6jd]

@@DivKid almost sold mine so spent lots of time with it and realized that would be insane.

[@turbochargedfilms]

I bet this'd be a ton of fun for bass house (like Jauz, Joyryde etc.)

[@Alphastare23]

Probably not the first to say it but damn DIvKid, you're hoarding all the Data's! I joke...another excellent "overview". Really enjoyed the talk with Finley as well. See ya later on with Chris Meyer!

[@MinPlanck]

Awesome!

[@mrotaveria]

wow, this can be so complex, my head hurts

[@dustop3r]

Very comprehensive walkthrough, nice!! Is it possible to build the functionality of this module using a set of simpler modules? I have started using a set of VCO:s,VCAs and a mixer but I can't get my head around how one could implement the knob that switches from completely "off" to "droning".

[@DivKid]

do you mean the VCA bias knob? Which is the manual level of the VCA? You could replicate this with another module but it would be a hell of a lot of modules.

[@dustop3r]

@@DivKid Ok, that's what I suspected. Thanks. Gotta start saving then :D.

[@PnPModular]

Dope!

[@friendlynoise]

Hi, super video as always. But, is also a test of the FSS Cyclical Engine OSC1 coming? Afaik, OSC1 is older but there was no test for this interesting module.

@@nukiolbartes6279 But sometimes you want that, right? Sounds amazing going through resonant filters, eq, and delay. Congrats, Niko! You have chosen wisely.

[@510th]

At 18mins you create a sound straight out of a song I really like, which at the moment I can’t name.. but I need to know the details.. that was just 3 triangles and some verb? Via mod,d with a slow flow? Cheers for the video./demo!

[@talimn]

god damn. This thing sounds dirty and I need it

[@frozenwastelanddemos714]

Can you explain what the VCA BIas and mix controls do? Wasn't really clear from the video. Also, I understand that each waveform is 0 to 5 (or -5 to 0), but all three are turned to 5 oclock, how is it not 0-15v?

[@robertsyrett1992]

You are calling them sine waves, but they look like parabolas to me :)

[@Syncopator]

Looks more like a rectified sine...

[@pat2rome]

Definitely rectified sine waves. There's no simple palabora that neatly approximates a sine wave for half of a cycle (there is one, of course, but the formula for it is pretty ew. Not mathematically pretty).

[@robertsyrett1992]

@@pat2rome Still, a rectified sine wave is a little different than sine. You get lots of overtones, more than a triangle even.
