Subject: Re: [motm] Non standard module uses

From: Thomas Hudson <thudson@...>

I have a "pet" patch that I have always used to test the flexibility
of all the virtual software modular synths. Believe it or not,
most of the ones I've played with are incapable of producing
this patch, for lack of comparitor or logic modules (or restrictions
on control vs. audio). It is based on Craig Andertons Pulse
Width Multiplier. There is an input for a triangle wave and three
LFO's. The triangle is fed to one input of four comparators.
Comparator 1 is fixed to produce a square wave from the
triangle, the other three take each LFO as their other input. The
outputs of comparators one and two are exclusive-or'd together,
this output is x-or'd with comparator three, and this output
x-or'd with comparator four.

Patches like this are why I wish we had math and comparator
modules for MOTM.
