What Happens When You Mix Multiple LFOs Together?

One of the simplest and most useful techniques in generative modular synthesis is the additive LFO network.

The concept is straightforward:

Instead of using a single LFO, multiple LFOs are combined by adding their voltages… read more

Why Do Multiple LFOs Create Extremely Long Repeating Patterns?

What Is a Super-Cycle in Modular Synthesis?

One of the most important concepts in generative modular synthesis is the idea of the super-cycle.

Understanding this concept helps explain why a patch can sound endlessly… read more

How Can LFOs Create Generative Music Without Using Random Sources?

Using LFOs for Generative Music: Creating Long Musical Cycles Without Randomness

Many musicians associate generative music primarily with random voltage sources, Sample & Hold modules, probability gates, or stochastic… read more
