It is useful both as a pure noise oscillator as well as a random gate, voltage-controlled clock and even for use as hihats!
Features
Inputs:
- Expo. response CV input (-V to +V)
- Linear response CV input (-V to +V) -- great for audio rate FM, as the audio demo shows. It sounds positively gruesome!
- Clock input (square wave, positive logic)
Controls:
- Pitch control (to tune base frequency, just like a VCO)
Outputs:
- Base frequency noise output (a little smoother sounding than the divisions) [audio coupled]
- Sub octave /4 output (gritty sounding) [audio coupled]
- Sub octave /8 output (gritty sounding) [audio coupled]
- Base frequency DC coupled gate output (for when wanting a random gate when using a slower clock/pitch rate)
- Internal clock output (there was an extra opamp, so I figured this could be useful)
It is available in PCB format. No kits, sorry!

vcNOIZ is a voltage controller noise oscillator for analogue modular synthesis. It is capable of generating white noise just like any other noise module, but also features voltage control of the noise pitch and sub-octave outputs which add their own character tone to the noise. The circuitry is entirely analog and uses no microcontrollers.
