Re: LFO RS85 question

2010-08-06 by bennethos

they offer a broad range indede , but no easy way of turning a pot to go from ie : 20hz to 0.02hz in one swoop I think. I can't test it though, I don't have the module :-/ .

An EMS synthi has an lfo pot of 10hz to 0.2hz if i'm not mistaken. Something like that I'm looking for.

I assume you would get the capability of a "fixed architecture" synth, which you could patch into a modular (you would probably need a convertor module or adaptor to use with eurorack) although having never seen one of these, not sure you could patch the LFO out independently - next months UK Sound on Sound mag promises a review.
