Functions for Sound Creating DCO (Oigtally Conroe citar) DCO is the digitally controlled oscillator that Controls the pitch and crestes two types of ‘waveforms which are the sound soures of the synthesizer. Compared to VCO (Voltage Con 16 trolled Oscilator), DCO has superior stailty “The operations and functions of the DCO are virtually the same as those of the VCO. nu 7 WAVEFORMS You can select the output waveform of the DCO.
