Anyone using Freqbox as 3rd OSC on their LP?

Post by anoteoftruth » Thu Aug 20, 2009 3:21 pm

Hey guys, I'm thinking about buying a Freqbox to add a 3rd OSC to my new LP.. Are any of you guys doing this now? How is it working for you? I really like some of the sounds I heard on youtube, but there's actually not a lot out there.. I'd like to really hear more of it if anyone has some samples?

I've tried using mine as a 4th VCO for my Voyager... it's kinda cool but it's tuning is nowhere near as accurate as the VCOs in the voyager itself

Yeah, I kind of expect that too.. I'm aware its kind of a budget way of getting 3 VCO's but I still think it might be worth it nonetheless.. If I had a voyager I would'nt even be thinking about this :D

I bought it specifically to use as a 3rd osc, actually! :)

It sounds fat, and isn't temperature controlled like the LP and Voyager, so it wobbles more. Tracks really well for 4-5 octaves, which is really all you need imo, but it's easy enough to tweak around too.

The only trick is that you will need a way to attenuate the Osc Out signal as it's a bit hot for the LP audio input, which has no way to turn it down. W/O a mixer, it overpowers the LP oscs pretty drastically.
