Subject: LFO

From: jhaible@...

I got my MOTM LFO kit shortly after Christmas, and the
first thing I tried was controlling a Phaser with the
unsymmetrical Sine waveshape. This is something I wanted
to try for a long time. Even though I have a similar LFO in my
JH-720, this is a "closed" system, so I could not bring that
waveform out easily, and I certainly did not want to dismantle
the Synthesizer for that little experiment. But seldom was I looking
forward so much to one of my own circuits "in the flesh" as
with the MOTM LFO.
So I soldered it together, plugged it into my ARP Quadra Phaser
clone, Sine output of the LFO with shape knob turned fully clockwise.
And there it was, the idiosyncratic "roller coaster" type modulation
which you find in some vintage Phasers.
So, if you have an exponentially controlled (V/Oct) Phaser and
a MOTM VCLFO, it's recommended to try this specific setup.

Happy New Year !
