Line 34:
To use the S&H modulation on LFO C it is often a good idea to not set the LFO C rate knob to its maximum. While there are not set limits for the minimum rate times, a very large negative modulation signal can cause a LFO to stop oscillating. If this happens when the LFO C rate knob is at its minumum, the modulation level knob is fully open, and a sampled negative signal is stopping the LFO, and thus also not sampling a new value that can start it again. In this case LFO C may appear to be frozen. In that case you can just open the rate knob a bit until it starts oscillating again. Or wait for a very long time for the S&H capacitor to eventually loose its charge.<ref name=":0" /> [[File:Hordijk trilfo.png|thumb|200px|Panel design for a Rob Hordijk TRIPLE LF-VCO]]
=== Internal Normalisations ===
Many of Rob's designs feature internal connections or 'normalisations' between inputs and outputs. These can be broken by inserting jacks into the inputs. When found together in triple-module formation the following normalised connections were made:
 
* LF-VCO C - C S/H output(internal) > LF-VCO A Modulation input
* LF-VCO - C - TriangleTRIANGLE output > LF-VCO A Fluctuation input
* LF-VCO - A - SineSINE output > LF-VCO C Modulation input<!-- Personal experience with my system doesn't confirm this, so I'll email Rob and ask him. -->
* LF-VCO - B PULSE output > DUAL ENV - GATE IN
 
This means that when no external signals are applied to the inputs, and their modulation input level knobs are opened, LF-VCO A and LF-VCO C constantly cross-modulate one another.<ref name=":0" />
