  • Adjustable 1V/O CV input
  • Mod, PW and hard-sync inputs
  • Reverse-polarity protected
  • Eurorack-style power input
  • I/O connections on one edge of board; can be connected to wires or separate control board
  • Works with CEM3340 or AS3340 VCO chip (kits come with AS3340)

Inputs

  • 1V/O CV
  • Mod CV (AC-coupled)
  • PW (Adjusts duty-cycle of square wave up or down)
  • Hard-sync

Outputs

The CEM3340 VCO is available in several versions:

Fully Assembled Eurorack Module

Get a built and tested 4HP Eurorack VCO module that you can install in your rack right away.  Includes power cable and M3 mounting screws.

Fully Assembled Main Board

Get this built and tested board and mount it in whatever system or enclosure you want (or turn it into a wiry mess on your workbench).  You’ll need to supply your own panel components (pots and jacks).

Eurorack Kit

Includes all the parts, PCBs, and panels you need to build your own Eurorack VCO.  Includes power cable and M3 mounting screws.

Main Board Kit

Get this PCB and parts kit and build your own VCO board.  You’ll need to supply your own panel components (pots and jacks).

Eurorack PCBs Only

Includes VCO board, Eurorack control board, and Eurorack PCB front panel.

Eurorack Control PCB and Panel Only

Includes Eurorack control board and Eurorack PCB front panel.  If you’ve already built up a VCO board and want to convert it to a Eurorack module, these are the boards you need.

Main PCB Only

Just the main VCO PCB with no other parts (you probably have plenty of parts already).

  • Power supply: +/- 12V to 15 VDC
  • Power connection: Eurorack 10-pin shrouded header (Can hook wires to pin holes instead if not building for Eurorack)
  • Current draw: 9mA (+12V) / 6mA (-12V) / 0mA (+5)
  • Dimensions, main board: 50mm x 60mm
  • Eurorack HP: 4
