PLAN B analog blog

Because it's coming up and you'll all see a picture of it soon, I will
give some details of our LFO which address questions which have arisen
on this list over the last couple of days:

1) It's an ELF module (only 4hp wide)

2) It will have multiple waveform outputs

3) It will have reset

4) It will have VC freq

5) It will track 1v/oct

6) It's range is huge - from 1 cycle every 30 seconds upwards to 10K with no range switch, so it can be considered more of a utility VCO.

7) It's all analog (not microC based) 

8) It will not have PWM

The decision to go ELF I think was an obvious.  Eurorack format has
it's share of LFOs. Making one only 4hp wide puts it in a unique market niche: an LFO function with limited real estate penalty.  Imagine have 3 fully independent LFOs in the space of a single Analogue Systems RS80. Now we're talkin'...

Of course there are some concessions one must make based on the
limited real estate of 4hp.  I felt VC freq and reset was essential. 
PWM would be cool, but unfortunately there's no room for it.

That's it for now.

Yes, it has an attenuator for the Freq VC.  All the way CW equals
1v/oct.  There's a trim pot on board to adjust that to make sure it
happens in everyone's system.

Good the hear from you, buddy!  Don't be a stranger, your comments are
always welcomed here.

probably not the best idea. it's got pretty wide range. pwm is fun but
i can live w/o it in square/pulse of my LFO. :)

I just want to introduce myself to the list... hola
everyone, Luigi Here!! 

Just wanted to say that... I'm 27 and unfortunately
never got to buy that old moog or old harp etc... as I
was growing into my lust for synths.... HOWEVER!!!

I don't have to give 2 shits about that theory anymore
as I once did, ooooh....say...2 or 3 years ago. 
Modular synthesis right now is a giant storm of
advanced ideas all at once based upon what our
forefathers created for us,  and passed down.....

How can any of us not bow and gratefully appreciate
everything that's been sprouted by all these new
settlers of modular deviated products? Peter, I thank
you my brother for in advance giving me hours and
hours and hours of smiles in-front of my modular wall.
Peace! :)

for me the best part is the range, and without a switch! count me in.

i'd love to see a polyphonic envelope/serge vcs with that kind of
frequency range. for audio and cv.
