The '''CEM 3340''' is a self contained [[VCO]], originally produced by [[Curtis Electromusic Specialties]]. With both [[exponential]] and [[linear]] control inputs and up to four output waveforms: [[triangle]], [[sawtooth]], [[square]], and [[pulse]] with voltage controllable [[pulse width]]. It has full temperature compensation making it extremely stable. Also included is provision for [[oscillator sync|hard and soft synchronization]] of the [[frequency]], and an output for easy adjustment of [[VCO high frequency tracking|high frequency tracking]].<ref name="3340ds">[http://www.cem3374.com/datasheets.htm CEM3340 data sheet] at CEM3374.com</ref>
