This is my try to do a PLL machine. I have been so close to press purchase on a hardware device that would do that, most preferably Moutarde or Pill from Glou Glou. But I realized that it isn’t that hard to do it in VCV/Metamodule.
A VCO square goes together with a sample device into a comparator, that then goes in to a slew limiter, but also a filter, as this gets more fun and controllable. Then that signal goes back into the v/oct in the VCO.
You can control the freq and pw of the square, which is important, then the levels between the “carrier and modulator” is most important, and then the slew and filter, mostly the filter drive as the last important.
There’s a lot of “new” kinds of timbres with this. It is quite ease to sound like the snow droid in empire strikes back scene when lands on Hoth and starts sending coded droidish.
As I’m not really sure to why this sounds as cool as it does, please give some ideas to how you use it, or suggest improvements on it.
