Random arpeggios

In the example in Fig. 2, an A-118 is used in conjunc-
tion with the A-148 to produce random voltages from
the random output of the A-118. An LFO triggers the
S&H module, so that with every oscillation of the LFO
a new random voltage is output to the VCO’s CV input.

If you patch an A-130 VCA in before the VCO, you can
adjust the Gain and Out amounts to restrict the fre-
quency range of the random voltages to whatever you
want.

P

You can use the same basic set-up as in Fig.
2, but patch the S & H voltage output to the
CV input of a filter set to high resonance, for
some interesting rhythmic timbral changes
(see page 6).

Glissando

In Fig. 3 an A-148 produces a staircase voltage.
The pitch CV output from a keyboard is patched into
an A-170 Slew Limiter. An A-148 triggered by the
rising edge of an LFO samples the output from the
slew limiter, and produces a staircase voltage which in
turn controls a VCO’s pitch.
Playing two notes, particularly widely spaced ones,
produces interesting glissandi.

H

It’s important to adjust the slew limiter’s time
setting and the LFO’s frequency to achieve
the right speed and number of notes in the
glissandi.
