The Glicol panic patch is a single out: line with an oscillator, LPF, and no sample references

When a Glicol graph errors or collapses during performance, the recovery procedure is to reset the file to a minimal, always-valid patch: a ~lfo bus and an out: chain using oscillators and lpf — no sp sample nodes. This patch is guaranteed to work offline, satisfies the one-out:-per-file rule, uses balanced >>, defines the ~lfo bus before referencing it, and keeps gain gentle. The simplest possible fallback strips even the LFO: out: sin 110 >> mul 0.2.

Examples

~lfo: sin 0.2 >> mul 0.3 >> add 0.5
out: saw 110 >> mul ~lfo >> lpf 800 1.0 >> mul 0.2

Assessment

Write a Glicol panic patch that is sample-free, has one balanced out: chain, defines its bus before use, and keeps gain gentle, then give the simplest possible fallback line.

“oscillators + `lpf` need **no** sample folder (survives G5 offline); it is a single named `out:` chain (G4/G6) with balanced `>>` (G2) and a defined `~lfo` bus (G3)”
