Subject: Filters as Oscillators/Hi Hat Patch?

From: "thomas white" <djthomaswhite@...>

Ramblings of a mad man:

I want to purchase more new modules soon and need a little advice. I would
like to get another VCA, but is the 110 still in stock? I know it was
announced as "running out" a while ago now. I figure I can wait for the dual
VCA I guess, but I want volume tremelo soon as well as dual leads from my
one modular. Do I wait or get the classic with the CEM in it? Opinions
appreciated.

Also, how many 420 owners have more than one of these filters? At this point
I only have one and would like to get another one soon. How often do most of
you end up using your filters as sine oscillators? Robert Rich's system from
NAMM is full of filters used like this a lot of the time. I have not tried
this, but can you make a filter self oscillate and tune it down to LFO
range? I'll try this tonight.

Brings me to oscillators. 3rd VCO vs 2nd LFO. Which would better suit me?
Hhhmmm... I think VCO for the accuracy of the tracking if I want to use it
as a lead or bass. I do love the shape control on the LFO though and if you
pump a little voltage to the cv in you can really get into VCO ranges. I am
really hungry for the 3 oscillator sound so I think I have answered my own
question here. The VCO can always do the LFO stuff anyway.

Of course I also want a 101, but it shouldn't be much longer now anyway.
Anybody have a good Hi-Hat patch and modules needed? Sorry so long winded, I
think my work is putting amphetamine in the coffee these days! Ha!
