Re: random!!

2004-08-25 by selfoscillate

hello anders,

you do not need negative values for this. just set
the filter cutoff to the desired minimum and open it
with a positive random voltage. makes no real difference
in the end.

if you want to get a lfo for your system, the a145 has
selectable time range too, one cycle can take several
minutes.

best wishes

ingo
