This is a short demo exploring my recently aquired Metasonix R-54 VCO/VCF. The erratic, unstable and unpredictable qualities the tube based design imparts are some of the main reasons I like this module, alongside it's distinctive tone, it really sounds like nothing else.
The module has been patched into and key-tracked with my MS-20 mini as they're both scaled to the Hz/volt protocol. Even so the tuning of the R-54 here is still off, so I may end up obtaining the R-60 to achieve equal tempered tuning later on. In this case I wasn't concerned with the tuning, opting to explore the natural sonic qualities and noises the oscillator provides. There is also some pitch modulation coming from the 4MS pingable envelope generator and some post processing coming from Echoboy and Lexicon's Room reverb for some added depth.
