Using two oscillators as LFO's and mixing their output. Added modulation comes from a third LFO (Moog Voyager out of picture). I'm sending the mixed modulation signal to the pitch and waveform inputs on the Voyager and getting some really wild sounds. Its fun!

Another closeup look at the controls and the access to the oscillator inductors, and touch strips we added for extra sonic effects.
The research activities of the group are focused on the development, study, and application of novel coherent light sources with tailorable properties in wavelength regions inaccessible to conventional lasers and other existing technologies. We exploit optical frequency conversion techniques in novel nonlinear materials and deploy innovative design architectures to provide tunable radiation in new and difficult spectral regions from the UV and visible to the near- and mid-IR. We develop light sources based on harmonic generation and mixing, optical parametric generation and amplification, and optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) in all temporal domains from the continuous-wave (cw) to the ultrafast femtosecond time-scales. The innovative light sources developed in our group offer great practical utility for a variety of scientific and technological applications including spectroscopy, trace gas detection and environmental sensing, quantum information, frequency metrology and synthesis, photochemistry, optical microscopy, biophotonics, and nanotechnology. Another important focus of our research efforts is knowledge transfer from the science base into industry through technology transfer activities, commercial innovation and enterprise. We strive to develop cutting-edge frequency conversion technology for transfer from the research laboratory to commercial market for use in real scientific and industrial applications.
When you plug in a keyboard, sequencer or even just use the oscillator without input, it's not tuned to anything in particular! The top knob picks the octave range. The lower knob picks the pitch. Tune perfectly or go flat or sharp as you want.

This is a pic of my recently completed Synthtech MOTM 300 Ultra VCO, made from v2.0 parts instead of a complete kit.
The basic idea is to use a 555 timer in voltage controlled oscillator mode. The distance sensor outputs a variable voltage corresponding to the distance to the nearest object. The signal level isn't quite what the 555 wants to see, however, so a 10k potentiometer was added to the sensor output to do a slight level shifting. The component values listed here just happened to work from me, and the whole thing could undoubtedly be improved with a small amount of work.

My take on Ray Wilson's Music From Outer Space Weird Sound Generator. Added Scott Stites' Loony Vactrol Filter Mod. Also added CV input with attenuation to Voice A oscillator and CV input with attenuation to the Filter Frequency cut-off.
