 These modules are VCOs, which means that they generate sound.
+**The Good, the Bad and the Ugly** and **Please kill me** are both based on phase modulation (frequency modulation cousin).
+They have an unusual feature that allows you to delay the phase modulation.
+It means that the signal will feedback itself only after a defined period of time.
+It adds a lot of movement and makes the timbre different depending on the pitch.
-=== The Good, the bad and the ugly ===
+These 2 modules have a special place in my heart cause they are the proof that, sometimes, experimenting in a field you have not been trained can produce happy accidents.
+I think that it's because I was not trained as an engineer that I thought about the feedback delay concept.

 **Tracker** is a complex sequencer that allows you to create patterns and to organise them in a timeline. It is made for more traditional composition.
+It can basically sequence all your instruments triggers / gates, pitch, panning, CV modulations, etc.
 The core module is the Tracker module. The other modules are made to output the corresponding voltage generated by the sequence (notes, padding, modulations, etc.)

 It means that it generates both rhythm and note sequences through the use of algorithms. It is highly inspired by the [[https://supercollider.github.io|Supercollider]] pattern sequencing [[https://doc.sccode.org/Classes/Pattern.html|Functions]].
+Each line is a sequence that can be either a rhythm sequence or a CV / Pitch sequence. You can then connect them the way you want (for example having a note sequence being clocked by a rhythm sequence or a CV / Pitch sequence add random octave shift to another pitch sequence)
 For the real geeks, as every sequencer, **regex** can be used as a weird and broken **VCO** when clocking it at audio rate ;)

 **It’s good cholesterol** is an audio processing module. It **records the input (mono or stereo) into a buffer** and allows you to control up to **16x playheads** to read the resulting buffer. It’s a real **sound design sandbox**. You can build really simple **tap delays** but also **weird pitch shifted reverse delays** with **granular extras** and it can even be used as a polyphonic **VCO** (one of my favourite uses of the module !)
