Re: New Feature - LFO and DCO modulation sync'ed to MIDI or onboard sequencer

2008-06-27 by bys_jhn

Mike, 

Thats awesome!  I havent updated yet, but thats certainly what i
wanted...  i dont quite get the part about dividing/multiplying the
lfo cycle according to midi time code.  you will add a parameter to do
this on the fly?  BTW both LFOs were what i was talking about.

Sorry I have been very busy lately and havent been able to respond to
your question about what I have been doing lately with my ex.  I have
done a little tooling about with my doepfer schaltwerk midi step
sequencer, which can step write controller data as well as note
data(!)  It also has 8 channels of cv/gate output, so Ill eventually
hook up my Roland SH-101 and control both from it.

I am a big fan of your kit even though I might not be using it as much
as you would wish.  Ill keep you updated on the things i do.

JB
