2018 Note: Obsolete! This chip has been superseded by the TAPLFO 3 The new chip adds several features, has additional waveforms and improved resolution, and also no longer requires a crystal. It’s an improvement in pretty much every way! Head over and check out the data sheet. This simple Tap Tempo LFO is based on the […]

The TAPLFO 2D chip adds a powerful feature to your LFOs: you can set the LFO frequency by tapping a tempo on a button connected to the chip, or by changing the Tempo CV. With this chip you can build tap tempo effects units or stompboxes, tap tempo controlled drum machines or tap tempo sequencer […]
We’ve discovered a bug in the recently-released TAPLFO 3 code (how embarrassing!). The problem only affects the tap tempo feature of the TAPLFO3. Other chips like the VCLFO or STOMPLFO aren’t affected. We’ve fixed the code, and while we were working on it, we also improved the switch debouncing routine to be more tolerant of bouncy […]
The TAPLFO chip adds a powerful feature to your LFOs: you can set the LFO frequency by tapping a tempo on a button connected to the chip, or by changing the Tempo CV. With this chip you can build tap tempo effects units or stompboxes, tap tempo controlled drum machines or tap tempo sequencer clocks. […]
A pack of one hundred Electric Druid TapLFO 3 chip, available in a SOIC surface-mount package for manufacturers. This is not a stock item, but we can order chips in this format if requested. Download Electric Druid TAPLFO tap tempo LFO Datasheet The datasheet includes example circuit diagrams, example waveforms, and the chip pinout diagram.
I was exchanging a few emails with a customer recently, and they suggested designing a chip that allowed you to define an LFO shape with a set of controls – obviously sliders would be perfect for something like this, like a Graphic EQ for LFOs! The idea was that you’d have some waveform sliders, plus […]
I’d like to share a couple of things I’ve had kicking around on my desk for a long while. The first one was a simple optical tremolo, and for this second StompLFO project, we’re going to use the StompLFO to apply modulation to a PT2399 delay. This is actually very simple to do! PTWobble, StompLFO […]
I’d like to share a couple of things I’ve had kicking around on my desk for a long while. They also show a couple of ways to use vactrols. One is a simple optical tremolo, presented below, and the other is a modulated delay effect. StompLFO Optical Tremolo One very simple way to produce a […]
This page collects together just the information you need if you’re intending to build one of the Electric Druid effects pedal/stompbox projects. For each pedal, you only really need the construction guide, which includes the full bill of materials (BOM) and a wiring diagram for the PCB in the enclosure. We also provide a […]
The FilterFX project uses the Druid STOMPLFO to control a 12dB/oct state variable filter. A state variable filter (SVF) is chosen because this filter design offers highpass, bandpass, and lowpass outputs which gives us the greatest range of different effects. The LFO offers eight waveforms, including two random waveforms (one does those crazy sample-and-hold effects […]
