The TPC can also be switched into service as an LFO and there’s even a built in sample & hold. There’s a “Lock/Free” switch for the oscillator, which allows you to lock up a reference frequency via a tiny screw adjustment on the front panel, handy when tuning to other oscillators in your system, and a static square wave output that’s useful for clocking or synching to other devices. I patched it to the 180 degree output on the Schlappi Engineering Angle Grinder on the low setting and it freaked it out in a good way, shuffling through the different waves. It’s also possible to cycle through the wave shape selection via CV in, a really fun feature. The TPC Slim VCO is based on the Bergfotron Advanced VCO and has 8 possible wave shape outputs that are selectable by pushbutton: triangle, saw, double saw, pulse width, sine, ramp, even harmonics, and double pulse wave. And while this busy-ness may turn off some, that’d be a shame because Blue Lantern puts out some really inspired, and as previously mentioned, feature packed modules. Even their buffered mult has 25 jacks! It’s as if the modules can barely contain the ideas and potential sonic rabbit holes held within. Knobs, jacks, switches, buttons, words, letters, drawings, symbols there’s nary a millimeter of free space to be found. Blue Lantern’s Flavio Mireles has an obsessive tinkerer/hacker mentality that is obvious when you see how packed his modules are.
