LFOs, Low Frequency Oscillators are good sources for periodic modulation. The waveforms they pro-
duce can be used for vibrato, tremolo or as clock sources. Some of the LFOs in Nord Modular G2 have
a very wide frequency range, from very low to audible frequencies.

LFO A, B and ShpA have waveform selectors of radio button type. All wave-
forms in these LFOs are instantly available by clicking the desired waveform
button.

LFO C has a drop-down waveform selector. The different waveforms of LFO C are not in-
stantly available as in the “radio button” LFO described above. The advantage of this is that
LFO C uses less Patch Load. However, changing waveform in LFO C will force the Sound
engine to recalculate and thus cause a brief moment of silence. So if you’re looking for lower Patch Load,
use this LFO instead of the “radio button” one.

LFO B and ShpA have graphical display of the waveform with phase and shape (LFO
ShpA). The yellow number to the bottom left indicates the current Phase setting in de-
grees.

Selects one of three ranges of the LFO rate: Rate Lo (normal), Rate Hi and Rate Sub, plus
BPM and Master Clock Sync mode. The Rate Lo range is from 62.9 secs/cycle to 24.4 Hz,
the Rate Hi range is from 0.26 Hz to 392 Hz, the Rate Sub range is from 699 secs/cycle 5.46 secs/cycle.
The BPM range is from 24 to 214. The Clk sync mode automatically locks on to the synth’s Master Clock
and here you set the intervals between 64:1 and 1:64T. The ‘T’ (triplet) indicates that the note value is
1/1.5 times the original note value and the ‘D’ (dotted) indicates that the note value is 1.5 times the orig-
inal note value.
Note that the Clk sync mode is only available in the LfoB and LfoShpA modules
.

Set the rate of the LFO with the knob. The Output LED will show you an approx-
imation of the rate, while the display box will indicate the exact frequency in Hertz,
seconds, BPM or Sync factor.

Set the phase of the LFO signal. The phase is shown, in degrees, in the Display Box and
also in the Graph. The phase can also me modulated from an external source. The mod-
ulation amount can be attenuated with the knob of [Attenuator Type I].

There are one or more
Control
signal inputs for a modulation source to control the
pitch of the LFO. There can also be a modulation attenuator next to the input of [
At-
tenuator Type II]
.
