Thats pretty damn cool. If its at a reasonable price (like all PlanB stuff) count me in for a couple.

And...I want a model 16!!!!

Subject: [PLAN_B_analog_blog] Plan B ELF LFO

Because it's coming up and you'll all see a picture of it soon, I will
give some details of our LFO which address questions which have arisen
on this list over the last couple of days:

1) It's an ELF module (only 4hp wide)

2) It will have multiple waveform outputs

3) It will have reset

4) It will have VC freq

5) It will track 1v/oct

6) It's range is huge - from 1 cycle every 30 seconds upwards to 10K with no range switch, so it can be considered more of a utility VCO.

7) It's all analog (not microC based)

8) It will not have PWM

The decision to go ELF I think was an obvious. Eurorack format has
it's share of LFOs. Making one only 4hp wide puts it in a unique market niche: an LFO function with limited real estate penalty. Imagine have 3 fully independent LFOs in the space of a single Analogue Systems RS80. Now we're talkin'...

Of course there are some concessions one must make based on the
limited real estate of 4hp. I felt VC freq and reset was essential.
PWM would be cool, but unfortunately there's no room for it.

That's it for now.
