Subject: Vote for VCLFO design!

From: "Paul Schreiber" <synth1@...
Date: 1999-05-03

On paper I have the VCLFO designed. ∗Curently∗, it is designed to be a 1U,
single VCLFO as follows:

4 controls
--------------

Initial Speed (from about 1 cylce in 20 seconds to 4Khz)
CV Speed attenuator that is a reversing attenuator (ie increasing voltage
makes it faster or slower than INITIAL)
Shape: this is a symmetry control that effects all waveforms simultaneously.
At 12:00 then everything is 50%.
Output select: 4 position rotary switch: Sine, Tri, Ramp, and Pulse

4 Jacks
-----------

CV Speed
CV Shape
OUT +
OUT -

1 LED: this is a special "analog" LED that continuously changes ∗colors∗ at
the LFO rate. It does not
"blink": it's always on. This is because blinking can introduce curent
glitches that a VCO can pickup
(can you say "ASM-1").

Estimated price for this configuration: $99 kit $139 assembled.

However, I can make this a 2U wide as follows:

add a SHAPE attenuator (note that there is NOT on on the 1U)
4 individual outputs (like the VCO)
2 Speed CV inputs
HI/LO range switch LO = 1 cycle in 1 minute to 900Hz HI as above

Estimate price for this configuration (everything else same: LED, etc) is
$135 kit $190 assembled
