LFO control 

 
P 30   

LFO rate / speed (default :116)  [approx 6.25Hz] 

 
- Sets the speed of the LFO. Range approx 0.1Hz to 100Hz. 
Range   

0 to 191 

Note: This number is just a numeric value for reference purposes only. It is not calibrated in mS or any 
other unit. The scale is roughly logarithmic. Approximately 0=0.1Hz  66=1Hz  129=10Hz  191=100Hz 
 

P 31   

LFO waveshape (default :TR) 

 
-  Sets  the  LFO  waveshape.  All  waveshapes  modulate  CV  and/or  Aux1  any  value  between  0  to  a 
positive value, except triangle, which modulates positive and negative. The following may be selected: 
(the  downward  arrow  (

)  indicates  the  default  trigger  point  when  in  MIDI  sync  mode).  Note  that  the 

sync point can be changed using parameter #33 

– LFO Sync Start Point.

P 32  LFO MIDI SYNC  

(default: oFF) 

 

Range, off [oFF], 1 to 96 
 
-  Allows  the  LFO  waveform  to  be  synchronised  to  MIDI  clock,  with  a  variable  divide  ratio.  The  LFO 
waveform will automatically adjust its length so that  it  will start at the beginning of a bar, and  last for 
whatever musical time it is set for (see below for divide ratios). 
 
A divide ratio can be set, so the LFO only re-triggers every so many MIDI clock messages. MIDI sends 
24  clocks  per  quarter  note.  So  if  divide  is  set to 1, there  will  be  1  cycle  of the  LFO  for  every  1  MIDI 
clock. (i.e. 24 cycles per quarter note). If set to 24, there will be 1 cycle of the LFO for every 24 MIDI 
clocks. (i.e. 1 cycle of the LFO per quarter note). 
  
Below is a table of values you can set the divide ratio to obtain LFO cycles of various musical lengths:

Do not use low divide ratios at high clock speeds (particularly 1) and switch off if not using. 

 
P 33   

LFO Sync Start Point (default :0) 

 
- Sets where the waveform will start when MIDI sync is active or Key-On reset is on. 
Range   

0 to 255
