LFO

How can you use Harmonia's Initial Level, Center and Width controls with LFO modulation to create evolving spectral movement and changing timbres?

From a static spectrum to a changing sound

One of the most interesting aspects of Cherry Audio's Harmonia is not simply that we can combine… read more

How Do You Add Envelope and LFO Signals Together in Modular Synthesis?

Combining Envelope Generators and LFOs with CV Mixers

Another powerful way to create sophisticated modulation signals is simply adding envelope and LFO outputs together.

The Basic Idea

Instead of one module… read more

How Can Modulation Networks Create Musical Relationships?

Creating Sonic Relationships with Modulation Networks

One of the most powerful ideas in generative composition is creating relationships between parameters that would otherwise be independent.

This is where modulation networks… read more

How Can One LFO Generate Two Contrasting Melodies?

Generating Counterpoint from a Single LFO

A single modulation source can often produce more musical material than expected.

The chapter demonstrates this principle by deriving two complementary pitch streams from different outputs of… read more
