ALM Busy Circuits

Notes: ALM's first analogue oscillator is a typically smart design, featuring thru-zero FM, continuously morphing wave shapes, dual subs and voltage-controlled FM index.

Supplier's Notes:
The 'TAZM-O' is an analogue triangle core oscillator featuring through-zero frequency modulation and a collection of some of ALM's favourite features of classic oscillator designs.

It includes a continuous morphing wave/pulse width shape control inspired by the Serge NTO, dual SH-101 style varied pulse sub octave outputs, a voltage controlled FM Index typically found in larger complex oscillators, a built in output level VCA and voltage controlled octave transposition similar to the multipliers found on Akemie's Castle digital FM VCO.

Designed to act as the primary oscillator in your system the 'TAZM-O' offers a wide range of timbral and patch flexibility within a relatively compact 12HP size, making it the perfect fit for any modular system.

Continuous crossfading wave shape with direct and voltage control.
Through-zero FM input with direct and voltage controlled mod index.
Dedicated outputs for sine (or triangle), saw and square sub-1 & sub-2.
Primary output with level VCA.
V/Oct input with approx 8 octave range.
Octave transpose CV input ranging 3 octaves.
Hard Sync input.
LFO mode with bipoler LED indication.
Rear switches for selecting Sub-2 pulse width, and sine/triangle waves.
Skiff friendly with reverse power polarity protection.
Made in England.

Notes: The successor to Dinky's Taiko, Tyso Daiko is a 12-bit dual digital drum voice, with built-in analogue tilt EQ and wavefolder, plus extensive CV control. Intuitive, powerful and versatile.

Supplier's Notes:
The 'Tyso Daiko' is a dual 12-bit digital wavetable drum voice with full voltage control and an analogue EQ output path.

The twin voices are independently triggered and output, but share pitch, envelope and other parameters of a swept wavetable oscillator. One voice is output through a voltage controlled analogue tilt EQ emphasising upper or lower frequencies.

The other voice is output through a digital wavefolder which adds increasing timbral complexity (to noise).

Both voices respond independently to an accent input and the first voice is able to be 'choked' . A surface control allows for fine control of additional transients from a click to a slow attack. Full voltage control including a V/Oct pitch input makes the Daiko an expressive and wide ranging drum module with extremely wide pallet of sounds with lots of modulation possibilities.

The Daiko succeeds the original Dinky with the same spirit but much improved control, new features and new wavetables.
