ALM has introduced the MCO (mk II), a versatile digital VCO and voice module inspired by 90s/00s digital synths.
The MCO offers a broad collection of synth voices, each with extensive, customizable parameters. These parameters can be directly controlled or modulated through assignable internal and external sources. Certain per-voice parameters support audio-rate modulation, including FM, sync, and DSP.
Each voice also supports up to four-voice chords, external-triggered envelopes, multiple LFOs, and dual audio outputs.
Voices include a multi dimensional wavetable oscillator based on the original MCO, a complex additive synthesis engine, a multi mode ’JP’ type digi-synth with super saws and more, a fully featured vocoder, a lush virtual analog implementation, a bass synth for both kicks and sub sonic tones and a port of ALM’s SID GUTs chip voice.

Mmm, interesting module.
I like the fact it does so much more than just a VCO. Nice size and price too.
Might get the VCV version and see if I like it enough to get the actual module.
