Subject: New youtube video for the LFO - there are now TWO!

Yep, that's right. I have a new youtube video of the Poly 800 with TWO
LFO's working. Check it out at http://youtube.com/watch?v=IApgQHrwL0o

Thanks to ALL of YOU who provided direct input into the LFO. I would
not have thought it possible to get the second LFO working so fast but
you all gave me the inspiration I needed to get it done.

I've duplicated the original LFO and split them so that the original
LFO applies to the DCO and the second one applies to the VCF.

You can select triangle or square waves for the DCO LFO1. You can
select triangle, square or random for the VCF LFO2. For the square
wave, you can set the high and low offset from center on both LFO's.
You can also set the delay on both LFO's. And you can set both LFO's
to free run (so they don't reset/retrigger on each new note event).
The sweeps you get out of the VCF are beautiful. I think just getting
those continuous VCF sweeps everybody will love their Poly's all over
again. But then the random on the VCF is fantastic too. I think the
moog slayer mod with these two LFO's is going to be a big hit.

I've also finished the keyboard local control on/off. And I've
implemented the MIDI TX channel keyboard send as well. Those by
themselves are great because it makes the Poly more useful as a
controller. I'll be adding a velocity send parameter too so that you
can set the MIDI TX note velocity to whatever you want. I may even
make it somehow proportional to the joystick bend.

My next goal for the LFO part of the world is to implement a super LFO
that will modulate the VCF LFO itself. So that we'll be able to have a
nice super slow modulation of the first modulation to sweep the VCF up
and down while also have the smaller modulated VCF wave in there.

That one could take a while since we'll be modulating the modulator.

But enjoy!

Mike.
