5. R2D2 On Acid
Here, Dark Energy‘s LFOs generate some kind of mini-sequence. The oscillator generates only the puls-
wave (pulswidth = 0), which is heavily modulated by LFO2s squarewave. The modulation depht exceeds its
maximum and the sound gets dropouts within the speed of LFO2. In addition, LFO2 modulates the filter and
generates jumps in timbre. LFO1 modulates the VCOs pitch in a way, that it‘s squarewave performs octa-
ve jumps (adjust VCO-FM carefully). The modulation speeds of both LFOs is adjusted in a way, that they
generate a simple rhythmic pattern. The cranked up VCA knob provides a static output level, the ADSR is
not in use.
Connect the LFO1 output to the VCF F input and listen how the sound changes. Play with the
filter parameters.
