Ratcheting Effects with the TAP TEMPO VC-LFO Eurorack Module and a Step-Sequencer

video upload by AJH Synth Official

"This Patch of The Week shows a way of achieving racheting effects in sequences using the Tap Tempo VC-LFO - the new voltage-controlled low-frequency oscillator from AJH Synth. It involves using one row of 8 steps to control the pitch of the sequence, whilst a second row controls the LFO, determining the multiplication of the clock speed, which is set by the sequencer's gate output. This LFO then controls both filter and VCA like a repeating envelope generator, and it's clock speed is tied to that of the sequencer. The TAP TEMPO VC-LFO is a very powerful 16-waveform LFO module. Here only a simple sawtooth wave shape is used, but it contains many unusual and complex waves that are suitable for a huge range of applications, 15 of which can be twisted, modifying their wave shape in a similar way to square wave pulse width modulation. Two of the waves are similar to sample & hold, where random voltages are generated. All waves share the same clock behaviour and can be synced to external CV, which makes the module great for use with sequencers. A built-in VCA with level control, along with both bipolar (LFO type) and unipolar (envelope type) outputs."
