Lore
fm oscillator pair – $59 USD
Lore takes two of the lush all-analog oscillators from OVUM, and adds FM modulation to unlock a wild new range of sounds.
Lore is a standalone all-analog tool for exploratory sound synthesis - all you need to start creating is headphones.
Lore is designed for exploring tones, drones, and frequency modulated textures. Each voice is made of an independently controlled triangle-core oscillators, with separate control for volume, pitch, and can be crossfaded between a bright square wave and a crisp triangle wave.
Lore is frequency modulation. Voice one can be sent to the audio output, where it will create harmony or dissonance with voice two, or it can be switched to modulate the frequency of voice two. This is a simplified and analog version of the kind of FM synthesis you'll find in digital synthesizers like the DX7 and it's descendants.
Lore is hand-built from 100% analog circuitry, with no digital components, screens, quantization, or key-combinations to memorize - everything is immediate and at your fingertips.
Lore is enclosed in a sturdy transparent-green petroleum-free bioplastic case.
Lore has a USB-C port for power, and a single 3.5mm audio output jack for headphones or line-out to connect to an amplifier, audio interface, or effects.
To reduce waste, by default Lore comes with just the instrument and a USB to USB-C power cable. If you don't have a spare USB power supply, they can be added to your purchase at checkout. Lore is portable, but does not contain a battery. It can be powered by any USB powerbank.
