IME Kermit Dual Modulation Aid: Overview

(synth music) - [Instructor] Most analog low frequency oscillators have a limited number of wave shapes. Some may only have a square wave and a triangle wave, better ones like this Roland have also have the falling and rising sawtooth, and a sine wave. You can feed those shapes through a wave shaper, if you want to get more complex shapes, but if you really want more involved and more complex modulations forces, you need to look at a digital LFO, such as this Kermit Dual Modulation Aid from Industrial Music Electronics that used to be known as the Harvestman, but it's the same company run by Scott Jaeger. This is two digital LFOs, the 16 different wave forms inside one module. It's 10HP wide, only 29 millimeters deep and requires 90 milliamps on the plus 12 and 30 milliamps on the minus 12. You can treat these two LFO sections independently or have them cross-modulate eachother. There's some other nice touches to the output flexibility of the Kermit. For example, each half has two…
