Analog Sequencer Oscillator

Somebody told me about the using a sequencer as an oscillator trick ages ago, and I've always wanted to try it out for myself. Wasn't quite what I was expecting, but it's still pretty rad. Using the sequencer at these speeds as a modulation source is especially tubular. And yet again, it's the camera's audio on these, so phooey on me!

I srsly thought about getting the telemark....what does it excel at ?

[FatSynthDude]

@H4NDCRAFTED It's pretty good at being awesome with just a little bit of incredible thrown in for good measure. XD

@H4NDCRAFTED Seriously though, it's got a great filter. Very much like a SEM. And hey... patch points. You just can't go wrong with anything that's got patch points. Believe me, I've tried! It's not possible!

My buddy just showed me this method ... but then i noticed he made mention. haha! Not exactly an oscillator replacement for me, but definitely interesting. Like 16~bit analog wave shapes, no?

@mildheadwound You can get the oscillators to go faster if you get some FM involved. Don't view it as an oscillator replacement, but rather just another trick to add to your repertoire. Just because it's not a 'standard' oscillation method doesn't mean it couldn't prove to be perfect in the right situation. =D

Woah! I've recently just got my OBK, I've watched Analogue Solutions vids and tips on youtube, but i haven't tried this yet... - I will now!!!

[FatSynthDude]

@CampagnoloFIST Actually, if I recall correctly, I think one of Tom's tips is to do this. If you can get it going fast enough, you can essentially use the steps as a visual representation for additive synthesis. In Tom's video, he shows how to turn the Oberkorn into a a sawtooth wave.

3:40 is so creepy it's funny. I love it.

@rezzn8r Oh, rub it in, why don't you! XD

[rezzn8r]

just tried it with a klee. very interesting. thx!
