LFOs & VCOs - Basic Modular Tutorial Ft. Corsynth VC LFO

video by alternatingbitmusic

"While this demo doesn't really cover LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) action, the point was to share that certain modules have full VCO capability in addition to LFO. While I was fully aware about this from the VCO standpoint, I just realized a module I bought as a dedicated LFO also has full VCO capability. Perhaps my noob discovery will help others. Featured is the Corsynth VC LFO."

"Most of the sound from the modular system is coming from the Freestate FX adapted BRAIDS (Macro Digital Oscillator) and the Synthetic Sound Labs adapted PLAITS module they call Woven Spirits. Really cool stuff, with the Mankato filter modulated by a sample & hold."
