DESCRIPTION 

The 2VL1 is a compact (12HP) Eurorack 
format synthesizer module which 
includes 2 VCOs and 1 simple LFO. The 
2VL1 was designed with the idea of 
providing a lot of sound out of a small 
space, and for a low price. The unit is 
designed to be DIY friendly by 
incorporating all through hole 
components, all of which are readily 
available and low-cost. The 2VL1 is 
configured to use a THAT Corporation 
matched transistor array and tempo 
resistors for the 2 exponential converters 
for exceptional thermal stability 
 

SPECS 

VCO 1 outputs: Pulse, Saw, & Triangle 
VCO 2 outputs: Pulse & Saw 
LFO outputs: Triangle & Square 

VCO1 & 2 inputs: 1 Volts/Octave*, 
Pulse Width Modulation, Linear 
Frequency Modulation 

*VCO 2 will default to using the VCO 1 Volts/
oct input until a jack is installed into VCO 2 
Volts/oct. 

VCO 2 Sync: Switchable to Off, synced 
from VCO 1, or externally synced* 

*For best results supply a 10Vpp sawtooth or 
triangle wave. Sync works best when VCO2’s 
frequency is higher than the master waveform 
and that the sync waveform is in the C3-C5 
range. 

SPECS, cont. 

All wave outputs: 10 Volts peak-to-peak 

VCO 1 range: 1Hz - 20kHz 
VCO 2 range; 1Hz - 20kHz 
LFO range: 0.6Hz - 24Hz 

Power input: +12V & -12V via standard 
10 pin Eurorack connector. 

Power consumption (+12V / -12V): 
55mA / 52mA 

Tuning error: < 4 Cents (typical from C1 
to C7):
