oh yes and when I had one I loved the BASS sounds, still have a track with just such a nice bass tone going through it.
I love the way 0-Coast interacts with DFAM, sometimes I use both for 3 OSC synth patches and take advantage of the 0-Coast envelopes and DFAM filter, best of both worlds…
Also sequencing it with Korg´s SQ-1 is instant fun

Been using the 0-Coast for a couple of years now, still find surprising uses for it and have been able to combine it with a bunch of different kit. Really haven’t yet found anything that it doesn’t go well with. Have used it both in a MIDI setting and with CV/Gate.
Few videos you can check out if interested.

This is great, love the fx as well.
Cheers Donovan! I have been very impressed with the Strymon effects. The TimeLine is really flexible.

The 0-coast is packed with a lot of sonic possibilities if you keep pushing it, but I wasn’t able to integrate it in the type of music I make—R&B-tinged tribal stuff. I ended up selling it along with my Digitakt and bought an Octatrack MK II instead to pair with my Nord Rack 2. Sometimes I miss it , but couldn’t be happier with my current setup.
Forgot to note that the 0-coast paired with a Memoryman is $$$ for lush sounds!

Ive had it for over 2 years now, and while I grew dissatisfied with its quirks early, I have since come to love it.
Aphex Twin used a DPO on Circlont14. DPO is basically just the 0-coast oscillator with another more simple oscillator for fm. If you put it through a filter it makes for a perfectly capable, not all that wonky bass synth.
I use it mostly for percussion. It makes excellent slightly weird mallet-y sounds that I enjoy.
On its own it does not work as “the” monosynth in most setups.

The dpo is much more than that, with the follow circuit, linear and expo fm bussed both ways, different wavefolding parameters, 6 waveforms out (vs 2), ability to have one be an LFO (and 2 sync modes), with voltage control on all of that.

Well obviously, but the wavefolder sounds very similar.
yeah there’s a reason why it’s $100 more than the 0-coast.
I just ordered a 0-coast. I want to feed the audio into my digitone but I’m confused about which cable to get. Would this one do? https://www.amazon.co.jp/Hosa-CMP-105-1-5m-ステレオミニプラグ-モノラルフォンプラグ-オーディオケーブル/dp/B000068O3F/ref=sr_1_5?__mk_ja_JP=カタカナ&dchild=1&keywords=モノ+ケーブル+3.5&qid=1590381253&sr=8-5
or is it enough to just plug a mono cable into the adapter?
Yes, that one should do if you only want to plug it in mono, If you want to go stereo (I think digitone has stereo in and out) then you could use one like this…

I thought 0-coast only had mono output?
0-coast has a headphone out ( line level?) output, so that could feed a stereo input but it is mono. Main output is mono with very hot output signal, eurorack level.

The O-Coast is like some of the Volca and the Bastl Dude. It has a stereo output for headphones, but it is the same signal on both channels.
Are the effects on the Digitone stereo? I am guessing you want to use the digitone as a mixer or as an effects unit on the input?

Yes both mixer and for effects. So a regular TS cable plugged into the adapter should be fine then I guess. I was mostly confused because I kept reading about people getting no input signal when plugging the 0-coast stereo signal into a balanced mono input and I wanted to make sure I have all the cables I need when it arrives in a few days.
Cool.
As a heads up I use these with both the midi in and the audio out of the 0-Coast cause I don’t like the bend that is put on cables when they are inserted straight, especially on the midi adapter.

I’ll get one of those as well for the midi then. The included mini to 1/4" adapter already has an L bend right?
