At the heart of Saurus are its high-end quality oscillators employing our True Analog Modeling Technology, which produces a warm characteristic sound reminiscent of the hardware units from the past.

Unlike their hardware counterparts these oscillators offer much more then just simple sound generation. Pulse Width Modulation which can be applied to all wave types opens up an incredible sonic range when used to modulate from one wave shape to another.
Together with Oscillator Sync, Oscillator Drift and AM & FM noise modulation an even broader range of sounds can be dialed-in, be it from using drift to introduce minor circuit instabilities, to complete analog chaos with the sync and noise modulation features.
