LED driver/Psycho LFO

LED driver/Psycho LFO

2005-08-06 by boward_k

Hi,I want to have an LED(Blue) showing the Rate of the Psycho LFO.
Should I use the LED driver, and how would I connect it?

you could try connecting the led driver to the output (the driver
would need the diode mod mentioned in the article). i don't know how
well this would work, it might just stay on all the time. possibly
experimenting with the 100K resistor on the driver input will get it
to work as you want (has anybody tried this?)

another way would be to use a led for each of the 4 oscillators, the
way it works on the super psycho lfo. you could do this with 4
drivers but would need pnp transistors and hook the cathodes up to
the negative rail, check the super psycho schematic.

if you want the full light show, it would be easier to get the super
psycho PCB and build a reduced version, leaving off the parts you
don't need.
