The sampling rate of the Random waveforms is controlled by the
Rate knob
, the same way the rate
of the other LFO waveforms is controlled (see below).
5.1.2. Sync
The
Sync
switch sets the LFO rate’s operating mode. It can be slaved to the Sequencer/
Arpeggiator tempo clock (
Seq
) or set to
Free
mode (i.e., the LFO rate depends solely on the
Rate
knob setting).
5.1.3. Rate
The Rate knob sets the LFO oscillation rate, and ranges from very slow rates (once every
16 seconds, or 0.0625Hz) up to quite fast rates (100Hz). The red LED located near the knob
blinks in time with the rate. Note that the LFO rate may be superseded by the Sequencer/
Arpeggiator tempo clock if the
Sync
switch is set to
Seq
(see above).
When set to Sync the LFO rate will always be a multiple or a subdivision of the Seq/Arp
tempo. As the LFO Rate knob is turned clockwise:
• Each increase in the LFO rate doubles the LFO frequency
• Each decrease in the LFO rate cuts the LFO frequency in half.
There are nine potential rates when an LFO is set to Sync:
