Subject: Re: LFO mod of VCO (was Using Velocity)

From: "tontaub" <egroups@...>

If it's just attenuation without any time dependency you virtually can
do that whereever you want (mostly depending on the rest of the
patch). If you want to control that remotely from a let's say MIDI
keyboard you will need a VCA which is controlled by the MIDI-CV interface.
However - no one stops you to grab the knobs of your modular when
playing ;-)

Did this answer your question?
