Yeah, it’s my own.
I got the PPG Wave for $29 from them, I’m sure it will come back around.

Guys n gals I've reuploaded the "JUN 2021 XOR templates" I made. Patches yet to come. If anyone makes some though, I'll incorporate them in the patch set yet to come. I'll be shifting into hi gear here.

XOR templates --> notes for programmers & geek-a-zoids:
I preset the osc 1,2 & 3 phases to 0, 120 and 240. The reason was when I use UNISONO (that's just Unison), I want the UNISONO iterations to be phase accurate, but I prefer the OSC's to be uniformly out of phase! Of course you can change it. I had been getting some punch to the beginning of XOR sounds (or any sounds) this way that Pulse (obviously) can't do (not even the poly pulse that guy built - which is incredibly epic).
On the template that says 'w/o PWM', I've set Osc 2 Wave to 127, the far end, where this wavetable gives us a square wave.
On the template that says 'w/o PWM', I've set Osc 2 Wave to 64, the mid point (some may argue 63 - so be it), ready to be modulated (I've set it to receive LFO 2 mod) to give us the PWM effect.
Reminders:
We initially only monitor RING MOD in the mixer.
Osc 1 & 2 are hard wired to be ring moddable.
Ring mod on square waves and pulse waves is the equivalent to mathematically 'XOR'-ing them (as in Pulse).
There is a difference that is noteworthy: In LARGO we may only simulate XOR after the waveform has been rendered by the oscillator. In PULSE the XOR math occurs BEFORE the oscillator renders. Just something to know. To say it another way, in LARGO we are XOR-ing in the audio domain, whereas in Pulse, XORing occurs in the digital domain, before the analog oscillator renders.
Use your ears.
Osc 2 can be sync slaved to Osc 3 as in Pulse.
The biggies I have to constantly remind myself of is 1) the availability of Unison mode, and 2) the ability to layer 4 complete sounds ('PARTS') in LARGO ... different, same, or any combination. This is the most unexplored territory without a doubt. Only a couple of LARGO sound sets in the world make use of that ability at all. Each part can have different effects too. This is a pseudo bypass to the Two Effects Only mis-perceived limitation.

I had posted a question earlier and found an answer tonight and I figured I'd share. I had been listening and sorting lot of patches from Harmor that I made last year. I then went to LARGO was auditioning and sorting patches on it as well. Going quickly from Harmor to Largo - I realized I wished I could take LARGO to another level. More life, more clarity. So I tried several exciters and compressor / saturators. I found Maserati HMX did what I was looking for. It made well over half the patches sound better, and LARGO exceeded my sound quality expectations as many times. I am sure this info is kindergarten level for most people but I put a few hours into this and figured maybe I could help someone else.

"One Knob Brighter" was doing good things too but HMX was better for me.

Has anyone found a reverb similar in character to Largo? I’m looking for a substitute for Largo’s internal reverb.Lotuzia wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2015 12:07 am Some are decent, but very rarely more than that. Over time I tend to prefer the ones that have a very strong character, even if they are not so versatile, but they add a unique touch. Largo's reverb for example. Can sound strange, but sometimes, you just wont find something to replace it, and it definitely belongs to the patch. Same with FM8.

Thank you, it wasn't my intention to mimic the Sub37. Maybe it is the filter drive, that made it sound similar.
My personal opinion is that presets are the death of electronic music.
But I can give you screenshot to replicate the sound. In general it's a simple patch, it's all about fine tweaking the modulations in relation to the musical content. The key elements are Oscillator 2, which is tuned to +7 semitones, and the filter drive which is modulated by LFO 1.
