"The TAP TEMPO VC-LFO is a skiff-friendly, 42hp Eurorack low frequency oscillator. It's a modulation powerhouse, with 16 waveforms, 15 with 'wave form twist' PWM-like control, random sample & hold type waves, and CV control over all functions.It can serve as a clock source, or can be clocked by external pulse/gate signals, with a clock multiply/divide function, along with a built-in VCA controlling both bipolar (LFO type) and unipolar (envelope-type) outputs. It's great for everything from simple expression-controlled pitch vibrato, to clocking or being clocked by sequencers for time-synced modulation, and generative patches, where randomness and/or time control is needed to be shared between different modules.
This video is a brief introduction to the module, but following 1 hour after this upload will be a full USER GUIDE VIDEO detailing all functions, along with some example patches.
Check out the AJH Synth playlists for more module USER GUIDE videos, and 'Patch of The Week' videos, which will be either performances or 'how to' guides detailing a range of sounds, some familiar, some less so, and each containing a patch sheet at the end to show you how to construct it for yourself.

Every modular system needs modulation sources to add variety and interest to static sounds. The more powerful and versatile the modulator, then the more interesting these sounds can become. We compiled a wish list of useful features, starting with obvious ones such as CV control of Frequency, Tap Tempo, Unipolar and Bipolar outputs and a wide range of waveforms, and then we just kept adding more features such as waveform twist, rate multiplication, Sync In/Out and an inbuilt dual VCA for modulation level control. Then we made sure that we had voltage control (and therefore automation) available for every single feature. This takes it way beyond the realms of regular LFO's and make the Tap Tempo VC-LFO a modulation powerhouse.
Ergonomics are important too, it can really spoil the workflow if we have to stop and refer to the user manual to find out what some obscure control or jack socket does - so it follows our usual format of having a very clear, intuitive and uncluttered front panel. All of the jack sockets are in two rows at the bottom, with the inputs on the left and outputs on the right hand side.
The Tap Tempo VC-LFO is available with either a Black or Silver front panel.
