Ok, adding the pulse width modulator was fantastic. No idea what I would use it on, but that's got some drama. Really interesting the difference between 1 and 7hz, and there are kind of fascinating relationships between the speed of the pulse, the width of the pulse, and the tone produced. Gives me something to think about. Thanks for showing!
No problem! I thought it was pretty cool too when I was messing with it. It makes me want to sample the audio at different rates and make it into an instrument.
@@amberelmmusic I've done a little thinking about what's going on here. This is all conjecture, but does your oscillator run at C4 by default? I slowed the video down to hear what's going on, and it's playing the equivalent of swung eighth notes at quarter note=480bpm(ish). That would mean that the 'quarter note' is hitting 8 times a second, and the VCO is 'beating against' the LFO 16 times a second, but at a seemingly swung beat...I feel like this should be regular, so maybe it's the mathematical difference between pitch of the VCO and the LFO that causes that? Maybe it's just an encoding thing from RUclips? I've got nothing. haha It might also make a really cool instrument also to move the VCO and the pulse width LFO against each other as you rise in pitch, almost like turning off keyboard tracking on a filter. Anyways, sorry for the essay. It's really interesting!
Wow
