Re: CGS 58 - Utility LFO minimum rate mod

2012-12-14 by Richarius Molindarius

Ohhhhh kay. Unnerstannable. :) Serge/CGS mentions on Muffwiggler just
over a year ago, is what started by divebombing into almost complete
Serge/CGS-Serge conversion. :)
Ken's 58 IS a cool module. There's some nice functionality in there that
will NOT tie up a USG. I'm addicted though. All my ADSRs and LFOs are
gone as of a few weeks ago. But ... that's just me having lusted after
Serge stuff for 20 years almost exactly until I found that Ken was
offering things. Duh. Lol. Should have realized that earlier. :D
