Klavis Twin Waves MK2, the newest version of the great Twin Waves Dual Digital oscillators and retains all features while adding a few more! Comparing the two, you'll notice they are:

• Same width (8hp)
• Same price
• All TW v1 capabilities and features retained
• Three dedicated modulation gain pots added
• Semi-modular cross-section patching added
• Whereas the original Twin Waves required +/-5V signals to benefit from full scale modulation, the new version requires less and has gain knobs for all 3 modulation inputs.
• These gain knobs are even more beneficial given that a normalling of the outputs to the other section's modulation input(s) allows creative results without requiring extra patching.
• This offers an easy and creative access to "complex oscillator" fun and cross modulation craziness.
• Using the outputs does not break their normalling; this avoids using a "multiple" when the output signal should go both inside and outside the module.
• The dedicated Square1 output of the first oscillator is normalled to the global sync/clock input. This allows synchronizing the second oscillator both for audio and LFO/random purposes.

Features:

VCO mode:

• V/Oct tracking over 10 octaves
• Through zero and linear FM
• Sub-octave output
• Hard & soft synchronization
• VCA control and CV algorithms selection
• Quantizer with various scales
• 20 algorithm-based synthesis types among:
• Wave shaping
• Phase modulation
• Phase positioning of multiple waves
• Up to 5 stacked oscillators in tunable unison
• Self-sync with phantom oscillator
• Additive synthesis (7 waves)
• Variable bit reduction (bit-crushing)
• Ring modulator with its own 2nd oscillator
• Noise with LPF, BPF, or resonant filter

Features in LFO mode:

• Simultaneous signal and trigger outputs
• External wave synchronization
• Clock controlled rate with voltage controlled multiplier and divider
• CV and knob control of output level
• Algorithm based wave engine with a selection of:
• Wave shaping

• Randomly spaced triggers and waves

General Features:

• Display with contextual icons and instant reminder help text
• LEDs indicating potentiometer vs. value matching, switch settings and output levels
• Automatically saved settings for instant recall at power on
• Firmware update by playing an audio file via the front panel
• Compact and skiff-friendly module

NOTE: These units are from the second batch and beyond - the first batch was recalled due to a minor issue, and these units are fresh and do not have that issue.
