The VCO++ from Hampshire Electronics is a precision analog voltage-controlled oscillator built around the SSI2130 chip — delivering ultra-stable tracking, true through-zero FM and PM, and beautifully rich analog tone.

Designed for both classic waveforms and deep frequency modulation, the VCO++ is a versatile sound source for any Eurorack system. With dual 4-digit LED displays showing note and frequency, it offers precise visual feedback rarely seen in an analog VCO — perfect for tuning, calibration, and live performance.

Please note that due to issues sourcing some knobs, the frequency knob may be substituted for a different but similar knob.
