LFOs

LFOs
Filter/Amp/Pitch/Osc 1/Osc 2 LFO
The five LFOs—Filter, Amp, Pitch, Osc 1, and Osc 2—all work identically.
Tempo
[Off, On]
On:
The LFO synchronizes to the system tempo, with its speed controlled by
Base Note
and
Multiply.
Off:
The LFO speed is controlled by the
Frequency
parameter, in Hz.
Base Note
(FREQUENCY)
[List of rhythmic values]
If
Tempo
is
On
, this sets the basic speed of the LFO. The values range from a 32nd note to a double breve (four whole
notes), including dotted notes and triplets.
x (Multiply Base Note by…)
[1…32]
If
Tempo
is
On
, this multiplies the length of the
Base Note
. For instance, if the
Base Note
is set to a sixteenth note, and
Times
is set to 3, the LFO will cycle over a dotted eighth note.
Frequency
(FREQUENCY)
[0.001…32.000 Hz]
If
Tempo
is
Off
, the LFO speed is set in Hz.
Waveform
(WAVEFORM)
[Triangle…Random6 (Continuous)]
Most of the waveforms are self-explanatory, but a few will benefit from more details:
GTR (Guitar)
is intended for guitar vibrato. It is positive-only, so that when used for pitch, it only bends upwards.
RND 1 (Random 1)
generates traditional sample and hold waveforms: random level changes with steady timing.
RND 2
(Random 2)
randomizes both levels and timing.
RND 3 (Random 3)
generates a pulse wave with random timing.
RND 4-6
are smoothed versions of
Random 1–3
, with slopes instead of steps. Use them to create gentler random
variations.
