[The_Cyndustries_List] Is my Super Psycho LFO working properly?

2008-01-23 by jkjelec@comcast.net

Hi All,

I'm just wondering if everyone's behaves like mine does, specifically regarding large DC offsets?

One of my favorite things to do with this module is to use the upper two and lower two square waves in low frequency mode (and shut off the two triangle waves) to create an arbitrary stepped waveform, and put this waveform through a quantizer , than to a VCO (and then listen for hours with wonder at the awesome equal tempered patterns that come out). However, I have found that the Super Psyncho LFO puts this wave out cenetered around a DC level of about-3 to -5 volts, where my quantizer won't work, and VCOs turn into mere click and pops. Of course I can always put the signal through a CV processor to scale and offset it into the 0 to 5 V range normally used for CV modulation signals. I realize the Super Psycho is a fairly simple design, and so these sorts of limitations might be expected. But does everyone's module behave this way?

Regards,

Kyle Jarger
