Quadrature VLFO Quick Minute


video upload by boxoftextures

"A quick minute with the Quadrature VLFO, from Cyberwerks Heavy Industries. Cherry Audio mentioned this somewhere a few days ago, possibly in a tweet I can no longer find, and my immediate thought was, "this will be brilliant for drones." And it is! The VLFO (the V stands for 'very') lets you make ridiculously slow LFOs, but the module also puts out three additional signals that are 90° apart from each other. Which makes it perfect for long, slow drones as each LFO can drive multiple things very, very slowly, but each output is different, because when one is high another one might be low.

So in this patch I have two VLFOs, four out-of-phase outputs in each, running at two different very slow speeds (70,000ms and 15,000ms cycles, respectively) and controlling the volume level of the eight partials in an additive VCO. And I have another VLFO (33,000ms) controlling the volume of the mixer channels of three supersaw oscillators. And just for fun I threw in a super-slow envelope generator to slowly fade the patch in and out (12 seconds in, 50 seconds out).

In a way this is a terrible demo LOL. Because a quick minute is too short to really hear the very slow changes that are happening, and I thought about just making a much simpler straight demo with much faster and more obvious changes but, well, didn't, alas. But I think you can get the idea, and see what these VLFOs are capable of. And also, they're not limited to being very slow either, just to mention it.

No external effects used, everything's in Voltage Modular.
