hello list,

here are some examples for a very interesting
module combination: a196 pll, a163 vc divider
and a171 vc slew limiter. these recordings are
more of the rough type, be careful with the volume.

patch description:

an a111 square wave sequence drives the a196.
the a171 slew limiter replaces the lowpass filter
of the a196, while the a163 vc divider is patched
between a196 vco out and a196 phase comp in 1.
the result is frequency multiplication instead
of frequency division.

an a155 provides different settings for the
cv inputs of a163 and a171. each file has
dedicated a155 knob settings. an a131
is used as final vca, controlled by an
a140 adsr envelope.

you hear the a196 vco output, eight times the same
sequence, each time with different settings for
slew time and frequency division (or multiplication
in this case). each file is 377 kb in size, loopable.


example 1 is recorded with the a196
set to range = hi, phase comp = 2.

example 2 is recorded with the a196
set to range = hi, phase comp = 2.
the a111 is tuned two octaves down.

example 3 is recorded with the a196
set to range = mid, phase comp = 3.

the a196 pll is a unit for experimentalists as well as for
those who are looking for unusual oscillator timbres.
plenty of modules can be patched somewhere in the phase locked
loop for stunning results. not recorded, but quite effective
for this purpose are also ring modulators, frequency shifters,
filters (the a101/2 for instance) or other things nobody
has even thought about yet.


best wishes
