Sena

Sena – Multi Channel Sound Source
Oscillators are the beating heart of any modular system — and with Sena, that heart has four fully independent cores, each with its own frequency control, waveform, and dedicated timbral shaping.

Unlike conventional VCOs where multiple waveforms share the same oscillator core, Sena assigns a separate 3340 core to each waveform: Sine, Triangle, Saw, and Square. This legendary architecture, found in synth icons like the Roland SH-101, Jupiter-6, Oberheim OB-Xa, and Sequential Prophet-5, ensures rock-solid stability, wide-range tracking, and unmistakable analog warmth.

Tuning inputs are daisy-chained, making octave jumps, chord building, and micro detuning effortless. Each waveform also gets a unique CV-controlled Modifier to push its sonic range further: a two-stage folder for Sine, a trapezoid shaper for Triangle, a phase modulator for Saw, and a half-range pulse-width modulator for Square.

Completing the package is a full analog Noise Bank offering white, pink, blue, and brown noise — perfect for percussive transients, atmospheric layers, and experimental soundscapes. Sena is more than a VCO — it’s a complete, performance-ready sound source in just 14HP.
