The OSCIX VSM is a high-fidelity modulation engine inspired by the industrial aesthetic and nostalgic serenity of 80s and 90s analog TV satellite stations. Designed as a "Virtual Sound Modeler," it combines a lush analog-voiced chorus with a real-time waveform monitor.

Key Features:
  • Engine: Dedicated "Analog Chorus Engine" with 8 selectable modulation waveforms.
  • Visuals: Integrated display showing real-time waveform geometry.
  • Depth +: A multi-stage reverb architecture that can be blended for atmospheric textures or used as a standalone effect.
  • Shift Function: Paired with Depth + to create expansive, shimmer-like harmonic clouds.
  • Vibe Mode: Instant dry-signal kill for pure pitch modulation.
  • Warble Control: A dedicated lo-fi parameter designed as a tribute to the pitch-flutter and tracking imperfections of vintage video tapes.
  • Eight waveforms:
    Sine: Smooth, liquid, and traditional chorus. Sine 3rd: Harmonically enriched modulation. Sweep: Dynamic and sweeping envelope transitions. Lumps: Organic, irregular textures. Random: Unpredictable modulation for unique sonic explorations. Ramp Up: Defined rhythmic growth. Triangle: Classic, symmetrical modulation clarity. Square: Abrupt, rhythmic pitch shifts.
  • Origin: Conceptually rooted in the telecommunications history of local TV Earth Station.
Most of the build quality there looks excellent, which makes it even more off-putting that the hole for the screen was not sized properly.
 
I still say, if you add tap tempo to a compressor, it becomes a tremolo.
Doesn’t it depend on what parameter is being tempo-controlled? Ratio could be potentially interesting. I guess it would be worth playing around with some automation in a DAW to try it out now that I think about it.
