LFO Chords

11 min · Polyphonic mode · Patch cable required

 

Building the classic chord stutter — and then stacking modulation until it stops sounding like a preset.

The filter ends up driven by four sources at once: LFO, envelope, keyboard tracking and a velocity patch cable. Plus the trick of sacrificing oscillator 4 to use it as a second LFO, which opens up six waveform shapes instead of two and gets you sidechain-style pumping and audio rate modulation.

Tip: Keep the filter cutoff towards the left. The further it opens, the less of the LFO movement you actually hear.
