Hello. Long-time member of DIYstompboxes but new here. Can't believe I didn't find this place sooner!

Subject line says it all. Anyone have any thoughts on how to do this?

Hi axg20202,

welcome to the electro-music.com forum Exclamation

That would be an interesting modification. It sure would help to have a schematic. The last time that I asked though, Moog Music does not usually release them. But technical support did offer some suggestions when I was making a modification to my moogerfooger. So I would suggest that you send them an email.

Have you opened up the Minitaur yet to take a look inside? I would start by looking to see if there are trim pots used to adjust the duty cycle (pulse width) of the square waves of each oscillator. If so, that may be a starting point to find a way to do PWM.

Good luck! Keep us updated on how this works out.

Thanks for the welcome.

Yes, I think I need to have a poke around in there. I know that the board has various test points that could lend themselves well to splicing in new components. If there is a trimmer for pulse width I will be in business as I should just need to slap in an LFO (he said, casually).

Assuming I just need to add an LFO to modulate the pulse width, can someone recommend a suitable LFO circuit for this application?
