GITGUD is a pack of 9 chained LFOs
• To mo stuff around. ve all
• To creatively trigger drums voltage-controlled gates. and
• To change the whole vibe of a composition with just a slide on the skin-sensitive panel.
• To create dependencies on a group of modulations and defuse them un-chaining the LFOs on the fly.
• Filters create a relation between the cutoff and the resonance. –
• Drums send a pulse to the trigger input and a ramp to modulate another parameter. –
• LPGs – squares to make them d ramps for slow increments. BONG an
• FM or any other CV inputs you want it to take care of.
Let’s consider the first LFO. As we can see from the graphic sign on the right it will output a square wave.
“The frequency is set with analog touch controls; they act like potentiometers and they keep the value once
the finger is lifted from the surface.
As it takes time to turn a pot, it takes time to interact with these controls:
bridge with your finger the first line and the center to decrease the frequency or the center and the last III
one to increment. A red and a blue LEDs will light up to give visual feedback of the speed of th LFO III at .
This is a full analogue continuous control designed to be an expressive and interactive gateway to decrease ,
the boundaries between the user, the environment and the music-making-devices. ”
The second LFO will output a triangle/ramp wave and you can chain it to the previous one with the toggle switch
If the switch is in the ON position lever on top the previous LFO will increase the frequency of the – –
following one when in a positive state blue LED lit. The longer the blue LED stays lit, the faster the following –
LFO will be in that moment .
Considering LFO number 1, if we increase its rate the blue LED will blink fast . Being in a positive state for er
a short period it will not send a longer enough signal to the following LFO. If we decrease its rate, it will be
positive for longer and if the chain is connected it will send signal to the following LFO increasing its rate.
This chain is breakable with the switches at any point.
This way the LFOs can be used individually or as a complex chained tool a nonet modulator. –
• 9 analog LFOs with dedicated toggle switches to chain them.
• Individual continuous touch potentiometers to set the rate of the oscillators.
• Frequency range from 0.25 Hz - 15 BPM to 20 Hz - 1.200 BPM.
• Single board design extremely skiff friendly. –
• “ hatever” don’t W power connector a.k.a. mind the polarity.
• current draw +12V 5ma, -12V 75 13 ma
• dimensions width 8HP, depth mm 18
