Re: Plan B ELF LFO

for me the best part is the range, and without a switch! count me in.

i'd love to see a polyphonic envelope/serge vcs with that kind of
frequency range. for audio and cv.

with no range switch, so it can be considered more of a utility VCO.

Imagine have 3 fully independent LFOs in the space of a single
Analogue Systems RS80. Now we're talkin'...
