A great sounding complex oscilator
Ear Piece 03.03.2024
While not a traditional complex oscillator, I believe that this module falls into that camp. Not two, but three digital oscillators are used to produce interesting cross modulation functionality.
What this means is that there is a huge variety of sounds that can be summoned by this module. While most of the online demos showcase the more noisy side of the Three Body, don't be fooled. It can also be very musical and sweet sounding as well. And despite being digital it also has an analog 'heft' to it.
The built quality is one of the best in Eurorack and the multitude of outs and patch points mean that you have worlds of sound at your fingertips.

Bought two of these bad boys. From lovely bliss to berserk mayhem and everything in between. These will never leave my rack!

My favourite oscillator
JimSocks 24.01.2025
I have had this module for a year now and I'm still discovering new tricks with it all the time. It is a very well designed module. The digital oscillators allow for precise pitch which is so useful when FMing. It also makes a wicked modulation source

Rt
Very Complex Oscillator
Rory the Border 17.10.2025
I’ve only had this a matter of weeks, so I can’t pretend to be an expert. But I’ve already found a number of sweet spots, and I’m sure there are many more to hunt down. To be brutally honest I have two criticisms: I don’t like the knobs; they feel cheap (on a £500+ module!!), and a couple of them have edges sharp enough to catch unwary fingers. I can see myself replacing them with either Davies or Rogans in short order. The other is with the manual, which could have provided rather more in the way of patch examples, if only as starting points for further exploration. But there are years of fun to look forward to here (tip: an oscilloscope is very useful!).
