You know what this crowd needs? A Shepard generator (aka quadrature
oscilator). It's four LFOs that are 90 degrees out of phase with each
other (0, 90, 180, 270). When driving four VCOs, the effect is said to
be an acoustic illusion analogous to the "barber pole" optical
illusion. I've never heard one but I see the evil "D" brand includes
one with their MIDI-CV converter, an odd choice, I thought. I also have
an old Paia experimenter's kit but I can't find the chips or the docs.
Come to think of it, this sounds kind of like the LFO section of a
'410.
That's it, any takers? (Stooges, start your engines ;)
