Re: Ways to limit the LFO range...

2006-06-26 by ilanode

Hello Dan, Doepfer LFO-modules have no level controll for the output 
but most (if not each) have at least one input with a level control 
(attentuator). The VCFs have usually one input without attentuator 
(e.g. A122: CV1 for an 1/V response) and another one with 
attentuator (e.g. CV2 for those CVs which does not need to comply 
with the 1/V standard). Regards, Ingo (not selfoscilating)
