Weston Precision AudioTZ0 Through-Zero VCO

Weston Precision Audio TZ0

Weston Precision Audio's TZ0 is an analog oscillator featuring multiple wave shapes, thru-zero linear FM, and other stellar features for creating anything from silky to warped out sonic textures. Offering five different outputs, TZ0 offers a wide range of basic timbres that act as great audio starting points or can serve as a stellar LFO. Push the pulse-shape output further with variable pulse-width control and even a dedicated PWM input and depth attenuator for thick and beating leads and basses. Where TZ0 shines is in its ability to create anything from sweet and soft to inharmonic and thrashy with its linear FM input, touting thru-zero capabilities for an extended and gnarlier range of modulation. The linear FM input passes through a VCA that can be utilized via the envelope input for sculpted amounts of FM, while the TZ offset provides means for determining where the modulation starts to pass through zero—be it immediately or not at all. With a hard sync input for squelchy harmonic shifts and highly tunable coarse and fine controls, TZ0 provides the modern edge and flexibility to compliment a warm and analog tone.
