Thank you for this tutorial!

Would enjoy to see more. Do you have a Patreon?

Thank you for your comment. No, I don´t have a Patreon yet. I´ve created this Paypal-Donate thing I mentioned in the video and on my website: http://www.rofilm-media.net/rofilm_cz_17_002.htm
It´s kind of a vicious circle: producing those videos - doing some payed work to make my living - no time left for "marketing".
Have a great day and a good time!

Part 7 of my tutorials about Softube´s Modular is online now.

It´s about the Doepfer A-147 VCLFO Module, its functionality, its feedback behaviour and some deeper insides in RESET and CV feedback. Combinations of more than only 1 LFO (parallel and seriell) and some experiments round the contend up to a video, which is a bit longer than expected

).
Have a great day and a good time!

Thank you, topaz, mladi and sqgls for your comment. It helps me keeping up this kind of work, when I get reactions and responds. Have a great day and a good time! Rolf

I wish there had been tutorials like this available when I got my Doepfer Basic System II in 1996. All I had to go by back then was the manual and trial and error!

rofilm · Post by **rofilm** » Sun Oct 02, 2016 5:11 pm

Thank you, deastman!
Oh yes, I know that very well! On the other hand situations as those you are talking about devide real "sound divers" from "short term interested" ones! And wasn´t that trial and error thing also a quite good teacher?
Thank you for your comment! I always try to do my best and hope it´s sufficient.
Have a great day and a good time!
