A first look at the Vondle Scope | Analog Oscilloscope Eurorack Module
We try out our new Vondle Scope with the Surge Dual Universal Slope Generator. The X and Y axes of the scope are driven by the left and …right slope generators, respectively.

We will publish a proper detailed studio review in the near future 😺
