The  CV  jack  is  normalised  to  one  of  two  internal  signals:  the  internal  bus  CV  or  the
Auxiliary LFO sine wave.  When no jack is inserted into the CV socket then the normal-
ised signal is fed into the CV input and treated in exactly the same way.

Applications

The three outputs of the Main LFO can be used separately - for example, to generate
pseudo-stereo  rotation  -  or  combined  to  generate  a  sine  wave  of  any  desired  phase
offset.

3D Panning

Connect  each  output  to  a  VCA,  with  all  three  VCAs  fed  from  the  same  audio  source.
Now send each VCA’s output to a separate amplifier and speaker, arranged at equidis-
tant points around a circle.  Place yourself in the middle of the circuit, and the result
will be a sound that rotates around you!  Swap over two of the sine outputs to change
the direction of rotation.

Arbitrary Phase Sine Wave

A sine wave of any arbitrary phase offset can be generated from some combination of
three  equally-spaced  sine  waves.    This  is  easy  to  achieve  with  the  DuaLFO  and  a
two-input  mixer.    For  your  convenience  a  phase  diagram  is  given  at  the  end  of  this
manual.

For example, suppose you want two sine waves with a 90 degree phase offset between
them (this is often called 

quadrature

).  Let the first sine wave be the topmost output

jack of the Main LFO - the 0 degree output.
