What is a lfo3/1/2023 ![]() ![]() As you can see, it’s a simple circuit, but it has plenty of uses. But sometimes that’s exactly what one needs. You have a triangle and a square output with a controllable frequency, that’s it. I intentionally kept this to the bare basics as I encounter the question for a basic LFO frequently. R18 and r20 form a voltage divider for the square wave output so it falls into the same ballpark range. This is pretty common for Eurorack format control voltages. The output are fairly ‘hot’ and swing between +7 and -7volts. Exact numbers can vary a bit depending on the tolerance levels of the capacitor, but that’s what I got from my breadboard build. As drawn (100nF) you can expect a frequency range of 20-ish Hz to somewhere around 0,2Hz. You can pretty much use any non-polarised capacitor you have lying around for this job. ![]() With a bigger capacitor, the frequency range will shift downwards, with smaller ones it will shift upwards. It determines the frequency range of the oscillator. There is a little bit of tweaking necessary to make it have the right frequency range, and work from your typical dual rail modular power supply.Ĭapacitor C1 is where its at. Turns out there is very little to design as you can find an ideal schematic on page 1 of the LM358 opamp’s datasheet. There are tons of ways to build an LFO, but I’d like a simple one, voltage controlled if you want. ![]()
