the lfsr2r refers to lfsr + r2r. a lfsr is a linear feedback shift register, and r/2r is a resistor netork that is used to convert digital binary outputs to voltages (dac, digital analog converter). this is what a digital to analogue converter mostly uses. gieskes chose this name because it its what is in the module + some more. it
was not the goal when they started making this module, but it a nice name.
gieskes developed it because they needed a sequencer that works good for drums, especially with the vu-perc modules. the vu-perc module responds to gate signals, and they hit harder or softer depending if the voltages of the gate signal is higher or lower. this module has a cv input that can be used to modulate the voltage that comes
out of all gate outputs (like the starving binary module). this way the volume of the vu-perc modules can be modulated.
