patches that have been used in the videos; and, as ever, experiment – RYO
modules are designed with all necessary protection and fail-safes so you can
just start plugging in patch cables and see what happens!
ping it:
many modules with vactrols in the CV-path can be 'pinged' – excited by a
short spike of CV such as a trigger or by a few ms pulse of noise, the
vactrols will ring with a very natural, organic sounding, woody decay –
great for drums or percussive tonal instruments.
distort a cv signal:
try something different - such as distorting an FM modulator wave so that
the resulting sound output from a carrier VCO/VCF/VCA is wildly
different.

Patch ideas:
Although uses of VCAs in patch examples and ideas are found readily online and
in some books, and similarly those familiar with using distortion effects
perhaps from the guitar pedal cultural background, there are many other less
obvious ways to use the Optodist in patches in your modular rig:
