  • Capt'n BIG-O is a characterful VCO from Cre8Audio that has a wave folder, overdrive and bags of personality. I'll take you through the waveforms, modulations, FM and jam together some noises to give you an idea of what it's capable of.

    It's really nice that we're seeing Euorack modules of this standard coming down to sensible ( hobby ) prices. Makes it so much easier on the old bank balance.

    Damn, I wasn't that sold on this until you patched that fold into the drive and it just RIPPED!! Color me impressed!

    Sounds bloody ace!! Looks like my kind of module - plenty of controls and CV, no screen or menu diving at all. Perfect. I think I want one ;-)

    Great demo, thanks.

    I've come back for another look. I really cannot understand why I "dismissed" this, on first hearing. It just shows how rubbish I am... I really enjoyed my second listen! This thing is nuts and great value. Yet another module to add to the list of future purchases I can't afford right now (because I've spent up!). Great job, as usual, Robin!

    That's incredible competition for the Makenoise STO, ALM MCO, and Instruo Ts-L.

    Nice demo, thanks! I may end up with a 2nd case now though, I thought I were done with EuroGAS! hahaha

      I'm literally here thinking the same. I want this but I just realized I finally filled all the space in my current Cre8 audio case. Just seeing this module has me immediately considering a second case haha. It's never going to stop. It's bad.

    Love Pittsburgh, and this sounds like a great oscillator, but I’ve got three Primary Oscillators and a couple Crows and I’m not the target market for this module….. sounds up to pbh standards for sure though.

    Damn if this were the same size as Cellz I would swap it right now

  • @Dogboy73
    @Dogboy73 Před 3 lety +1

    ....... Just tried to buy one after watching this. They sell direct from website but don't ship to Australia. Boooo! Will have to wait for a more local retailer ;-) Definitely getting one though. Sounds flippin awesome to my ears. And a fantastic price as well. Awesome ;-)

    when I first saw the module I thought it was chairman mao

  • @xisotopex
    @xisotopex Před 2 lety +2

    for a beginner should I get this or the behringer 110vco/vca/vcf? would the big-o be considered a complete synth voice? seems like its got the important stuff

    • @MoltenMusicTech
      @MoltenMusicTech  Před 2 lety

      The Big-O has some waveshaper and overdrive but it's a sound source - it doesn't have a VCA or envelope to make it into a full synth voice.

    • @benbauer1065
      @benbauer1065 Před 2 lety

      This captain big I will sound better but you would a vca, filter and envelope still.

    • @jammystraub488
      @jammystraub488 Před rokem +4

      There's an adjustment on the back to turn the overdrive into a VCA! Support the small manufacturers.! 😉

    i’m happy to see things of quality from them finally. chipz was… technically an oscillator, but not really usable. the unit i got honestly sounded worse than the one you reviewed lol

    • @morgan0
      @morgan0 Před 3 lety +1

      i kinda hope they either improve cellz or make a new better sequencer and then replace the niftybundle with that, captain big o, and mr phil ter. even if it cost $100 more it would be a far better deal.

    When I take my headphones off after a long modular session on vcv rack all the sound I hear is like flanger noise for a little bit? is that normal

    It sounds amazing and packed with features at that price! I'm so lame though. I honestly can't decide if I want to buy just because the looks of it would throw of my entire beautiful all silver system. I'm shallow. Haha. I still might get it anyways but damn. Why does it have to look so dumb. ?

    • @jammystraub488
      @jammystraub488 Před rokem

      Spray paint it silver and write the labels on with sharpie, Look Mum No Computer style 😆

      Looks symmetrical. I might try flipping it over.
