That was pretty informative. While I know the basics just from knowing synths, this had a lot of stuff about modular I didn't know. Thanks! One question this brought up, but...if I set an LFO to something like 1hz and modulate it with an audible wave, then it becomes that note with some weird beating, but I'm wondering what happens if we do that with an LFO that is a square wave? FM enthusiasts want to know!
Hey there, good question! I would take it from like a pulsating beating like you said, to more of a harsher, clipping sound. I was trying to figure out how to explain it, and it sound like a helicopter a little. It gets interesting when you take the LFO frequency up about 7 HZ. It makes a really cool tone. Let me know if you want me to make like a youtube short demonstrating in VCV rack. Thanks for watching and asking the question!
It’s just the VCO in VCV rack outputting a sine wave. Im playing it polyphonically. The way to do that is to right click the Midi to CV module and change the number of polyphony to however many voices you want to use (in this case 4). It’s not looping, I’m playing it on my midi controller (off screen). Hope that cleared it up. Thanks for watching!

@@amberelmmusic That would be cool to see if you could! Seems like there's a whole weird world of things to do with that maybe.
after the 3 min mark, you have a synth pad sound, what are you using to create that, and how is it looping?
