Subject: new member here with a question

From: John Parks <jpyyz@...>

Hello everyone. I am a newbie here in the true sense of
the word. Not only am I new to this list but to Synthesis
in general. I have never played around with modular synths
before but I have always loved the music they made. This
summer I hope to be putting together my first modular synth
from Synthesis Technology.

So on to my question. (Keep in mind I am very new to all
this and I am still learning all the terminology.)

I was wondering if there was a way to create a random gated
tremelo effect. Something that just cuts on and off. The
best way I can explain it is to think of a light bulb that
is flickering on and off at random. There is no set
pattern. Is there a way to accomplish this using MOTM
modules? I noticed that there isn't a square wave on the
LFO but there is a pulse wave. Could you somehow randomly
very the pulse width and the speed at which those changes
take place and then feed this into a VCA to produce the
gated tremelo effect? How would you go about patching this
up if its possible?

Everyone have a pleasent day,
John Parks
