Combined LFO Pattern

LFOs are great. Modulation is the heart of many good sounds, but a single LFO can get boring. Up, Down, Up, Down. So why not mix 2 of them together? Here's an example of a slightly more complex pattern made by summing 2 midi synchronized LFOs at the Linear VCA.

The patch is extremely basic, a simple 2 OSC saw fed to a 24 DB lowpass filter. the output of the combined LFOs is brought into the secondary VC input on the LPF creating a syncopated pattern.

What is LFO ?.

[isotopeofme]

Hi, LFO = Low Frequency Oscillator. They're used to provide modulating control voltage to your other modules like filters or audio rate oscillators.

Hi, it's not a basic system, but is similar. I opted for the phaser, 24db, and variable state filters rather than just the moog filter. The drum sounds are actually programmed in cubase to accompany the synth sounds. I thought that the synth modulation would make more sense layered with a simple beat.

Modulars are well worth getting into if you've got the time and patience to tweak them.

hi! i like your work...i am new into this modular world, and i am starting to build a custom doepfer...all this percussions are just done by the lfos sync? dont you need any sequencer? are you using a basis system? if not, is seems very similar...
