doepfer clones the buchla 266 random voltages with the A-149-1 for $145. your actually really really lucky to have euro. in banana you have to spend buchla $ and 5U .com etc... you need to pay romanf $1400 to make you one. $145 or $1400 your choice.

also, on the subject of random gates....you need a wogglebug for that. the old way was to use a comparator with a variable threshold and a slow moving random LFO. you could use the A-149-1 and the A-167 for an old school adjustable random gate source.

dammit i'd curbed my modular addiction for months...

Whooooooooa

I've been trying to research what I could use to plug an LFO into and then in return get a slower LFO speed. Could I use something like a S&H module, or something like the 4MS clock divider? Right now I've got a Doepfer LFO with 4 waveforms, but only one rate knob. So instead of having multiple LFO modules in my tiny 3U I was hoping I might be able to get a module that could essentially slow it down. Any thoughts?

any voltage controlled LFO will do that. you just patch a envelope or LFO to the cv input of another LFO. forget about frequency shifters cause they are expensive and not harmonic in the musical sense. a freq shifter will take A 440 + 10hz = 450hz but when your input signal moves up to A 880 + 10hz you get 890hz. a frequency multiplier will take 440 x2 = 880, and 880 x2 = 1760hz so it is very musical although the output is square waves. same is true for a sub oscillator or frequency divider or clock divider abused to run at audio rates.

Gotcha! Sounds interesting! Very very cool

I must have misunderstood, I though skully was talking about generating multipule simultatous lfos, not modulating a single one.

I've got a Doepfer LFO that has 5 different LFO outputs, and I'd like to run some of them at different speeds if I could while keeping the others at the speed the single speed knob is set to

Just ordered my Doepfer A-100 System Mini. I tried many many combinations before conceding that this would be the easiest and least expensive way to get going on this modular thing. I'm getting a whole extra 3U to play with, and I know a few modules I want to get fairly soon.

Good bye, money.




Future Modules

i like that this has turned from keyboardy pron i can ogle to modular synth sthuff i can ogle and be MYSTIFIED BY.

well played.

I was thinking about starting a thread for modulars... that way we can keep this thread a gear-oogle thread.

i'm not complaining at all. i'm a git about keyboards too.

BOTH ARE FASCINATING.

i think i started a euro thread, it's out in the ether.

the core is saw or triangle almost always. all the other outs are just the output from waveshapers that come from the same place. you need to actually buy more lfo.

been doing some rearranging... this is where I am...

NICE
