ALM Pip LFO

Posted on by

The ALM Busy Circuits Pip LFO (ALM048) is a compact, all-analogue low-frequency oscillator (LFO) and voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) designed for Eurorack modular synthesizers. Occupying just 4HP of rack space, it offers a wide frequency range, multiple waveform outputs, and versatile control options, making it a powerful modulation source in a small footprint.

🔧 Key Features

  • Wide Frequency Range: Approximately 0.01 Hz to over 20 kHz, covering both LFO and audio-rate VCO applications.
  • Manual and CV Control: Adjust LFO frequency via a manual knob or control voltage input.
  • Multiple Waveform Outputs: Simultaneous outputs for square, triangle, saw, and sine waves.
  • Uni/Bipolar Outputs: Provides both unipolar and bipolar waveform outputs for flexibility in modulation.
  • VCO Mode with V/Oct Tracking: Switch to audio-rate VCO mode with approximately 5 octaves of 1V/octave tracking.
  • Reset/Sync Input: External input to reset the waveform cycle, enabling hard sync functionality in VCO mode.
  • LED Frequency Indicator: Visual feedback of the LFO rate.
  • Skiff-Friendly Design: Compact 4HP size with a depth of approximately 32mm, suitable for shallow cases.
  • Reverse Power Protection: Safeguards against incorrect power connections.

💰 Price

The Pip LFO is priced at approximately $122 USD.
