Personally, I think what you have done is play the _precise_, unlikely tonal
sequences that open the gates between our universe and the dimension of the
Elder Gods, who will now return to our plane of existence and visit chaos
and suffering upon the peoples of the Earth. We have been safe for untold
millennia, but now with the advent of the MOTM modular, the key between the
planes has been at last found.
Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong...

motm@egroups.comSubject:[motm] what have i done?
h3y all,
i'm playin' with the lfo and this is way beyond my scope of
comprehension.
1st, the vco is set to coarse=4, fine=3. (with this, the pitch is
set about 50 cents higher than A=440) width=5, PWM=10. pulse out to
vca. triangle out to lfo FM.
2nd, lfo settin's: rate=10, FM= +5, shape=0
sine from the lfo is plugged into the PWM on the vco.
3rd, EG sustain=7, attack, decay, release=o
last, vca gain=0, cvmod=10
by depressin' a C on the keyboard, i get an lfo cycle of what looks
like 5sec. (but i have by careful tweakin' gotten it up to 20 sec)
however, unlike a slow rate where the LED is green, then red, then
gree... etc. this has a dominant LED for about half the period with
the other faded, but still lit in the background. as it works
through what sorta looks like a normal slow cycle they switch
intensities. so the one that was dim is bright and vice versa.
on to the sound, as i travel chromatically up the keyboard from C,
the lfo cycles get faster until G#, from A up they start to slow
down. at an octave above C, the cycle is about 1 sec. this pattern
repeats for a couple of octaves(in increasin'ly faster increments)
until the lfo cycle is continuously full blast across the rest of the
range up.
i have uploaded this to the files section if you want to hear it.
all i can think is that the frequencies are "harmonically aligned"
(for lack of a better term) with the lfo modulation rate(via the tri
in from the vco) and therfore in sync(-ish). as i move away from the
frequency(C note in my case)that i dialed in, it starts to do what????
i am utterly baffled, and not sure i am even on the right track to
the solution. any help would be appreciated. i would love to know
what i have done...
peace,
doc
