Vibrato with LFO sync and delay

“

- Vibrato, where you use an LFO to control an oscillator's pitch, is easy to patch, but can be tricky to dial in just right, particularly if you want to do something like precise octave jumps. I'll show you the patch and what I had to do to tweak it. To create a vibrato effect where I jump between octaves, I'm taking this square wave out from my LFO, and I had to reduce its amount, so it only jumped one volt plus and minus, because one volt is one octave. I had difficulty tuning it in precisely using one of these small sliders on the input stage of my VCO, so instead I actually ran it through my voltage processor, and then from the voltage processor to the VCO and used the dial here to carefully dial it in. I found it a little bit easier to control, just something personal. I then hooked up the output to a tuner, I played a note on my controller keyboard, (low note) And then I carefully tuned the amount on my level control until I saw the tuner give me exactly one octave of a jump.
