ABSYNTH 5 Reference Manual – 133
9 LFO Window
ABSYNTH has three LFO’s, which can be used for modulation. In many ways the LFOs (low
frequency oscillators) are – with respect to the technical foundations and Control Elements –
identical to the Oscillator Modules in the Patch Window: You can adjust the oscillation rates
and use any Waveform – including a Morph Wave – for this oscillation. Because of the low
oscillation frequencies, however, the LFOs, in contrast to the aforementioned Oscillators of
the Patch Window, make no audible sounds. Instead, the slow oscillation rates can be used
in order to modulate the parameter of the sound cyclically, similar to a swinging pendulum.
The musical utilization possibilities are numerous. A Vibrato effect, which consistently and
periodically changes its pitch around the tone that is actually being played, is a common ap-
plication. By contrast, in a Tremolo effect the volume is repeatedly increased and decreased.
The circling movement through a space can also be achieved easily through modulation of
the panorama position of a sound using an LFO.
ABSYNTH 5‘s LFOs 1 and 3
The three LFOs of ABSYNTH 5 are built in the same way. They each have at their disposal
an Oscillator section in the upper margin as well as three Modulation sections beneath. The
oscillation properties of each LFO in the upper section can be adjusted while the primary two
Modulation sections define which sound parameters are modified using the LFO Signal. The
lowest Modulation section determines how the LFO can modulate itself using the Macro Control.
