and a very small price ;-)

I design the pot and 3d print them using a Selective laser sintering (not a crappy Fused deposition modeling). Then, they are inked in black. I cut a small piece of plastic to create the white marker.
They are glued to the fader for a good grip.

Definitely! Still, I'm personally gonna have to save up thanks to the UK's crappy post-Brexit exchange rate. :(

Now that's some good thinking there.

that's not the most complex thing in this synth! ;-)

I put few video of the proto there :

I'm actually working on a "tutorial" video, and on the documentation.
I will solder a first batch next week. It should be ready in 1 or 2 week!

Hot damn. That is a capable machine. Awesome drone possibilities.

I loved the external audio modulation. You only used one oscillator, can all three modulate incoming audio simultaneously?

yes, it's a drone machine, but can also be glitchy, or used to create strange percussive noise.

This video shows only basic modulation in order to be didactic.
So yes, the 3 oscillators are identical. They all 3 admit 3 modulation fader that can be configured as FM/AM/PM or WS. For each fader, the modulation source can be 1 of the oscillator, LFO, CV in, joystick or audio in.
all of this in the same time...

The only difference is that oscillator 1 use audio in Left, oscillator 2 use the centre (L+R/2), and oscillator 3 use audio in Right.

I made a documentation :

The audio in signal can be used in 2 different ways.
• An envelop follower connected to the left input can generate gate signals in order to
easily synchronize the MMO-3 to an other sound machine.
• The audio signal can be used as a modulation source for the oscillators or the joystick.
the “AUDIO IN” modulation source is in fact 2 sources : the left and right signals.
When the audio in is selected to control the oscillator 1, joystick X- or Y- : the left
channel is used. The right channel is used to modulate the oscillator 3, joystick X+ and
Y+. The left and right average is used to modulate oscillator 2.

This is awesome.

I'm thinking of pairing it with the Landscape Stereo Field:

I just made a very glitchy video

and some strange percussive sound

Few months after the 1st orders, I'm very glad of all the positive feedback and comments made on the OCS-2 and MMO-3.
Lots of professional and amateur musician are using them to create amazing sounds.

Here is a selection found on social media :

Still thinking of getting one - any new products on horizon?

I'm planning a more experimental percussive synth, with feedback and effects, but I did not finish to organize everything. So I did not really start the prototype yet.
I have no idea of the production date...

I made a small tutorial on how to update the synth firmware.
http://nozoid.com/update-your-synth/

There are lot's of minor correction in the last version of the firmware, and I encourage anyone to upgrade to the last version.
