My Modular Journey - Season 4: Episode 14 (XAOC Devices // Sofia // Waveform Analog Oscillator

When it comes to choosing a XAOC Devices module, I almost never have to dive too deep into research mode before the decision is made to pull the trigger. I simply love these modules, from their incredible functionality to their dead-sexy design and appearance. Sofia made her debut in 2022, and she immediately went on the Wish List for something to explore later. I love the amazingly diverse sounds coming out of Eurorack Modular VCOs, as so many manufacturers and designers have equally as many brilliant concepts for creating "sound"; and that is almost my entire purpose in Modular... exploring sound design! Sofia (and Odessa, coming up next) are the last Voices in my Choir as of 2025. 🔗 Website ➤ http://xaocdevices.com/main/sofia/ 📚 CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro 01:40 Why did I choose Sofia 02:43 How I will use Sophia 02:56 Tuning & Pitch CV 04:17 Sound Check: FUND Audio Test 06:17 Mixing Options 08:13 Ratio/Damp/Warp for A & B 10:25 Modulating Ratio, Warp and Damp 11:52 Mini-Switches 12:32 Audio Outputs 13:25 Ratio/Damp On/Off 13:58 Back to: Main Out 14:33 Modulation Time! 15:30 Impulse Outs - Self-patching 17:26 Mix+FUND+A+B as Separate Outputs 20:15 More Self-Patching 22:27 Outro 🔎 Reviews    • Introduction to the Transcendent Waveform ...   (Monotrail Tech Talk)    • THE XAOC SOFIA IS BEAUTIFULLY UNIQUE   (Blush Response) 🔎 Demos    • Xaoc Devices Sofia   (XAOX Devices)    • Xaoc Devices Sofia | ‘Transcendent wavefor...   (Tom Churchill)    • Xaoc Sofia quick jam   ⚙️ Specs: (thanks, Perfect Circuit!) 24HP @ $490 Analog oscillator based on original waveforming principles 2 Modulating ripple elements allow for complex sounds 17 Patch points Works great with self-patching 8 Octave range Each element switchable between Sine and Square waveshape As always, thank you for watching, Liking and Subscribing ❣️🥰 Jc 🐾 Follow me around like a lost puppy 🐶 🌏 https://visionsmusicgroup.com/ (Website) 🎵 https://visionsmusicgroup.bandcamp.com/ (Bandcamp)   / johncopolillomusic   ⚠️ IMPORTANT ⚠️ This video series is not an endorsement or a recommendation for which gear YOU should try.
