Dannysound - EN129 Thru Zero Oscillator
Product information "Dannysound - EN129 Thru Zero Oscillator"
The EN129 Thru Zero Oscillator is an all analogue triangle-core VCO specialising in frequency modulation.
Analogue through-zero FM modulation produces a wide array of timbres particularly useful for bell like or percussive sounds.
Through zero linear frequency modulation can be precisely dialled in thanks to a dedicated CV input attenuator and through zero offset control.
Logarithmic FM is also available via it’s own dedicated input with attenuator and both FM inputs have an LED to indicate incoming voltages.
Simultaneous analogue wave outputs include: Sine, Triangle, Sawtooth, Square and Pulse wave with Pulse Width Modulation.
The PWM control goes to zero at either end of it’s range, which is very useful for creating rhythmic sounds with voltage control.
Furthermore the PWM control doubles up as wave shape modulation for the Sawtooth wave – gradually altering the waveform until it shifts half a cycle.
The EN129 features Coarse and Fine frequency controls as well as an LFO mode. LFO range is accessed via an LED pushbutton that also
acts as the LFO speed indicator – the button will light up when the waveform moves through its positive cycle.
A new addition of a Soft Sync Input allows the phase of the oscillator to be controlled by an external oscillator for an even greater range of timbres.
Features:
• Soft Sync Input
• Thru Zero linear FM
• Logarithmic FM
• Zero to zero pulse width modulation
• Sawtooth wave shape modulation
• Simultaneous outputs for: Sine, Triangle, Saw, Pulse & Square
• Coarse & Fine controls with LFO mode
• Includes power supply isolation on frequency controls
DIY-Kit-Type:
THT-Kit-1. This is a Do-It-Yourself kit, not an assembled module. The kit includes all parts to build the module. Only trough-hole parts to solder. Make sure to check the build guide before you buy. For build guide, more info, videos etc. please check the buttons below.

Manufacturer "Dannysound"
Dannysound is a small Berlin based electronics company, specialising in the design of Eurorack modular synthesisers.
The aim of Dannysound synthesisers is to provide high quality audio design and performance. There is a focus on warm sounding, soft-clipping saturation inherent to the designs, that can make recorded tracks "sit" better in a mix.
The collection started with a basic synthesiser voice that included reworkings of some classic designs to provide added functionality or better performance where necessary. The future of the collection will focus more on original designs, however, there are also some classic modules that have been requested by users that might make their way into the line-up.
The modules are currently available as kits from Thonk.co.uk and there are plans to start making fully assembled versions in the near future.
I started playing guitar in the 80’s, when it was cool. In the 90’s I studied jazz at music college and then went on to have a glittering career playing some of the worst pubs and clubs, to absolutely no one for 5 years. Then I decided to make electronic music and before I even recorded the first note I got a record deal…they liked the idea! Recorded an album… got dropped!
Had a ton of rubbish jobs until a friend suggested university, so I got a degree in electronics with the specific goal of making musical equipment. Designed guitar effects, valve guitar amplifiers and synths; building polyphonic and monophonic complete systems for a number of years. A friend suggested I design Eurorack modules and with the help of Thonk the brand was established.
The company name was suggested by a friend also. I fixed a lot of bands gear for a while and I liked to tinker around to get the best sound possible, so the name Dannysound (Danny's sound), is what he suggested… it seemed to fit with the design philosophy, plus I had no better ideas, so that’s the name.
