Which is more fun for making crazy noises, the A196 (Phase-locked loop) or the A149-1 (Quantized/Stored Random Voltages)? How much more nutty do things get if you throw in a Frequency Divider for the PLL or the 149-2 for the 149-1? Bryan

- hi- i don't have an a149-1 or 2. but the PLL is really cool. i often insert the a136 waveshaper or the a137 wave multiplier into the loop in different spots (befor or after the lpf, before the complarator). or you could amplitude modulate the incoming vco square wave (i do saw

hello martin, nice to have you on board :-) if you also want to control the amplitude of a vc-lfo, you just have to add another vca (f.e. a130 or a132). feed the lfo output into the vca and control the lfo-amplitude by modulating the vca with another lfo, adsr, midi controller or
