AUDIO DEMOS
By Scott Juskiw


  • Using MOTM-320 as hard-sync driver to a bank of MOTM-300 VCOs [218K].
  • A couple of R2D2 units getting drunk in some seedy bar [304K]

  • MOTM-320 Voltage-Controlled LFO
    $259 assembled & tested

    The MOTM-320 is a full-featured Voltage-Controlled Low-Frequency Oscillator (VC LFO). Unlike the crude LFOs found in most synths, the MOTM-320 has 4 individual outputs plus a master SHAPE control. This control voltage will shift the shapes of the Pulse, Sine, and Saw outputs in unison. Both 1 volt/octave (temperature compensated!) and variable FM (through a reversing attenuator to go up or down) inputs are available.

    Another unique feature is a SYNC input: a positive voltage will reset all 4 waveforms. You can sync to just about any waveform: from another LFO to EG's.

    The MOTM-320 is not your standard cheap LFO: it has a full-blown VCO core with discrete waveshaping based on the Moog modular and the VCS3! The core has an astounding frequency range of 1 cycle in 30 minutes to about 2800Hz. A bi-color LED flashes at the LFO rate, and can be set with a jumper to indicate 4 different ways!

    Don't sacrifice a VCO as a full-featured LFO: get the MOTM-320 and let the modulations begin!
