FH-1 as a Digital OSC - Mark Steiner

"FH-1 LFO and Sequencer driving light and sound.

Texture Time!

I know it's a taste thing and there are some incredible digital modules out there, but I've struggled getting into them.

But I'm learning I like them when used for things that exploit the edges (as apposed to digital emulating smooth analog forms). So nice wave form mixes that included some squares and even with drifting pulse width. And now even sequencers, effectively creating flexible super squares. These are great textures that remind me of 8-bit/chiptune stuff and crunchy modem noise type things.

The FH-1 clocks so fast that it makes such digital forms is a really great way, and with very in-depth controls that get you DEEP into the details of the wave.

Raw skeleton of exploration here with the FH-1, as I'm just using 1 or 2 of the 8 outputs and only controlling pitch.

Imagine how much more in-depth it can be also sequencing filters and other modules and running these through tubes and warm or dirty analog VCA's. I've done some of this already and loving the surprise that the FH-1 offers with it's amazing rate of clocking and responding to clocking.

I've planned to and not yet explored digital OSC direction the Silent Way, and then ran into this. Still excited all the more to what Silent Way will be capable of with this direction, considering it's sample-accurate resolution."
