Utility LFO speed

Utility LFO speed

2006-12-19 by tardisstudio

What is the best way to make the LFO speed slower? Change the 47n
capacitor to a bigger one.

Exactly. If you want it really slow, use a small bi-polar
electrolytic, somewhere in the 1 to 3.3 uF range. On mine, I used a
rotary switch to switch between really slow (electrolytic), medium
(47nF), and fast (.001uf?).

the best way would be to have one or two additional larger caps in
parallel, selectable by a switch. then you'll have selectable speed
range.

This is the best way, I think. Using a center-off toggle, you can have
three settings without using a rotary -- middle is your original 47n or
whatever you choose. Two other values such as 100n and 470n at the
switch, wired in parallel as Matthias says, gives you three effective
values.
