The Verbos Complex Oscillator - In Depth | Tutorial

- The Complex Oscillator from Verbos Electronics is a masterpiece of high quality analog design. It follows the west coast tradition of synthesis, by starting with a simple waveform and then adding color through FM, AM, and wave shaping.
In this in-depth tutorial, we delve deeply into the oscillator, exploring each knob and jack separately and with each other. I recorded the output to an oscilloscope at the same time, so you can see the waveform change as I talk about it.

One thing I really appreciate here is how you keep a coherent talking speed throughout the video. I've noticed a lot of eurorack enthusiasts tend to get more and more exited and speed up and it gets hectic. This demonstration is very enjoyable and I'm able to absorb it all. Thanks!
by far the best overview of the Complex Osc
Thank you. I am glad you liked it.
Just rewatching this as I bought my first Verbos module (the HO, not the CO). It occurs to me that Verbos modules would be a perfect tool for teaching. Absolutely no-nonsense, as close to the originals as you can get.
adsr + complex oscillator it's a whole new world of the sound. also I'm in AM synthesis right now, this sounds very pleasant for me. thank you for review this module!
My pleasure. Thanks for watching!
Excellent, you inspired me with some new ideas to try on mine! Best Verbos Complex Oscillator vid.
I think I may have to buy one of these, although the next oscillators on my list are the Danny sound Cali Osc and its companion. Why current complex oscillator is the Make Noise DPO and it just doesn't sound as pleasing as this one or the Furthrr. This one is somewhere between the sweetness of the Furthrr and the raspy, in your face-ness of the DPO. Also: These thing are so pretty. Watching Mark play his systems make me want an entire Versos setup. A sound as distinct as a Serge IMO. I don't play much techno, but when I hear the minimal techno that comes out of these systems, it makes me want to abandon my Eno style explorations and make minimal techno exclusively. Thanks for the video.
Hey thanks a lot, I wouldn't mind a video this deep about the Harmonic Oscillator too
Ditto! VE Harmonic Oscillator would be a fun one to get a deep dive into!
Hey there ! Cool video for a cool VCO ! Around 7:40 when you show the modulation oscillator you forgot to to turn off the sync switch, that's way you have almost no signal when the frequency is below the main one.
Ah, got it! Thanks for that great catch. :)
@@UndertheBigTree i learned something today,thats cool!
I recently bought this and I like it!
That thing sounds so good. I have to just admit it and trade in my DPO for one of these.
Thanks so much for the level of detail. I recently got the complex osc and your video is so straightforward and helpful. Really appreciate the time and effort.
The pleasure is mine. I'm so glad you got something out of it.
Thanks'!Great video!Very "Buchla" for sure!
Do you still have this module after almost two years? If so, has your opinion changed? I'm thinking about this one or the Harmonic Oscillator, which also looks great. Had a DPO which I loved, but sold it to finance a Summit.
Yip, great video, thinking to get one since a while, this made it a step closer.... And yes (I know Mark) the other modules are cool 2... Have to save a bit for my first one..... Cheers!!
Wow my local had Verbos stuff on "clearance" as well recently. I know it's expensive stuff but I hope people are taking the plunge. An equivalent set in Buchla will cost you twice as much money
Yeah, the Verbos stuff is amazing.
Awesome video, my man.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Nice vid, thanks
Question for you: What is the Frequency range of both the Modular and Carrier Oscillators, and do you know any way to calibrate them?
Trying to decide between Verbos, Instruo CS-l, and Frap Tools Brenso. Which of these three is best for hard industrial techno music and why? Would love all three plus Rossum Trident.
Hey, cool video!
Wich version of the CO are you using?
I think The square wave looks unlike a square ,usually is because the sounds is go thru a AC coupled mixer or audio interface... so they couldn't stayed offset for long and go back to 0V
Yep, that makes sense. Thank you for clarifying that point.
If you are blown away by the Verbos you should try the Pittsburgh Double Helix, both based on Bucla but the Helix is on some serious steroids. Great video as usual. 👍👍👍 The Verbos stuff is amazing though and you definitely got a cool oscillator.
Thanks, Nathan - if I get the chance, I will check out the Double Helix as well.
SHOUTING MAN
Couldn´t help watching your t-shirt. Think I got the same from ´97 :) Prog on!
LOL! I played that show. I was the keyboardist/vocalist/composer for Episode. Those were the days...
@@UndertheBigTree Played that show as well...The Flower Kings:) Indeed those were the days!
great video! did you ever take an interest in the Verbos harmonic oscillator? I can't believe how expensive it is but I think it's what I want...
I think the harmonic oscillator is great. But as you say, it is not cheap. You get what you pay for, but I haven't had the fund to focus on that module. Hopefully someday!
Way cool video! I want to build a system that provides drums, drones, sampling, and other voices, maybe. Any advice?
Yes indeed. The best place for you to get in-depth advice from other modular folks is the Muff Wiggler forum (www.muffwiggler.com/forum/index.php). You will learn a ton, and there are an endless number of opinions to help guide you along your path.
Can you put an external signal through the wave folder?
I don't think so. I didn't see any way to do it, other than having an external signal modulating the master oscillator, and then running that into the wave folder. But that's not really the same thing.
1 hz per minute?
I also kinda raised an eyebrow here, but I understood what he meant. 😛
