LFO Controls
Kyra offers three Low-Frequency Oscillators (LFOs), all of
which are identical except LFO3 does not have the Delay or
Dual Antiphase/Quadrature feature. Each LFO can be used
for modulation purposes and generates a periodic wave-
form with adjustable rate and shape.
The following sections briefly describe the function of the
controls.
LFO Select Buttons
Use the
LFO Select
buttons to select which LFO the
Shape
and
Rate/Delay
controls affect. You can also use the
LFO
Select
buttons to navigate to the relevant LFO page for
inspection of the parameters, the buttons light to indicate
the LFO is selected. The LEDs above the buttons blink to
indicate the rate of the LFO.
Shape
The
Shape
control selects the basic LFO shape of the selec-
ted LFO. 128 shapes are available including basic sine,
square, triangle and sample & hold (random) and other
more complex shapes. A useful waveform diagram shows
the LFO wave shape. With 128 shapes available, there’s a
lot of potential for creative modulation.
You can go beyond the 128 shapes available and achieve
complex, evolving LFO waveforms by configuring fre-
quency modulation (FM) on the LFOs by routing the out-
put of one LFO to the LFO rate of any LFO including itself
using the Mod Matrix.
Rate
The
Rate
control sets the rate (frequency) of the selected
LFO. If the LFO is configured for external sync via MIDI
clock, this control does not have any effect (unless the
MIDI clock is missing).
LFO Rate can be varied from 0.1 Hz to 12.8 Hz in 0.1 Hz
steps. Kyra’s LFOs can be accurately synchronised to MIDI
clock. As mentioned above, the LEDs above the LFO Select
buttons flash to indicate the LFO rate.
