Introduction
'Otterley' is a multi-LFO module, designed to offer extensive modulation possibilities, with a good amount of control and flexibility, while remaining nicely compact.
Four of the outputs are switchable between sine and square LFOs. Their frequencies are jointly set by the Speed and Spread knobs, which control the base speed and the speed difference between the outputs, respectively. Both controls also have CV inputs. These four outputs can also be switched between bipolar (±5V) and unipolar (10V positive or negative), and can be reset to the start of their cycle via the Reset input.
A fifth output offers another, independent, sine LFO with its own speed knob.
The module is 100% analogue.

Waveform magazine (issue 13) said
Otterley is maybe my favorite blend of attributes on a module; simple to operate, but offering up a lot of complexity … another win for Expert Sleepers.

It’s a simple and immensely useful module … I found it incredibly rewarding feeding all of its LFOs to the various CV inputs of one synth voice; instantly creating a holistic, natural and musical‑sounding ebb and flow.
