Subject: LFO square wave - working

Yes, last night I successfully added two new global parameters that
allow you to select square wave for DCO and or VCF instead of the
existing sawtooth.
The DCO LFO in square wave mode shifts the DCO by a half note
(semitone) so although it's good to have it didn't blow my mind. I
have to do a bit more work on that.
The VCF LFO in square wave mode didn't do a great deal for me either
until I added a minimum and maximum depth value for it. Now the square
can be set to sit wherever you want it to in the VCF range. The result
was definitely mind blowing. And the sound provided by a square wave
definitely gives alot of the sounds a new cranky edge to them.
Especially at slower rates. And the VCF responds quite well to the LFO
in square wave mode, so you don't hear too much ramping between high
and low. It is detectable but only slightly.
At the moment, the LFO runs twice as fast as it should for the square
wave. That's something I'll fix over the next couple of days.
And at 11PM, I ran out of brain power to add in the random MG. But I
should be able to get that going soon for the VCF. I don't think I'll
be able to put the random MG onto the DCO very easily because the full
range of the MG is only one note. But the VCF should be ready soon.
This is fun!
Mike.
