Tried them out today, they are great !!! Sean, thanks for developing them !!!
I recommend to all AlsaModular-users to give them a try. I know from my real
analogue synths that Hard Sync is very useful for designing cool sounds. So
I'm very happy that this is available now in software as well. I hope to soon
find the time to do some larger patches with the blepVCO's.

blepvco is a LADSPA plugin library containing three
anti-aliased,
minBLEP-based, hard-sync-capable oscillator plugins. The
oscillators are intended to be used with modular synthesis systems,
such as Alsa Modular Synth (a couple example AMS patches are
included). The three oscillators are:
Sync-Saw-VCO : Anti-aliased sawtooth oscillator with hard-sync capability
Sync-Rect-VCO : Anti-aliased variable-width rectangle oscillator, with sync
Sync-Tri-VCO : Anti-aliased variable-slope triangle oscillator, with sync
Users of Fons Adriaensen's VCO-plugins will find these plugins
immediately familiar, since they borrow much of their interface code
from Fons' work -- indeed, if/when you do not need the hard-sync or
variable-slope triangle wave features of blepvco, his plugins may be
a better choice, because their CPU use is somewhat lower. Currently,
his VCO-plugins can be found at:
