How To Properly Worship DVCO?

[IronCobra]

Hey everyone! I’m still new to the Hardware/Elektron scene, and Ive seen so much raving about the Dual VCO on RYTM. I have a general idea of what it is…basically a massive mono bass synth, right? Other than that, I dont know too much about why this is such a big deal in a drum machine (seems like it is), how to approach using it, and how to push its limits in general.

And…if it’s intended to be musical on a drum machine without piano keys, what is the best way to go about keeping things in key using Chromatic mode?

Any resources or insights that can help me get a full picture on the DVCO on RYTM? Ive been researching this forum for info, but so far most of it has been over my head.

Thanks everyone!!!
