Subject: Re: Vote for VCLFO design!

From: "Dave Bradley" <daveb@...>
Date: 1999-05-03

I would want both designs. Very slow cycle times are important to me, and
simultaneous outputs, but I'd have a place in my system for a couple of the
simple LFOs also. If you forced me to vote for just 1 design, I'd favor the
2 space version.

Sync or restart on the 2 spacer would be an important addition also.
