1. LFOs
There are four separate LFOs available and you can use any
number of them in the modulation mappings. Here you can
change the settings for the LFOs. All the LFO frequencies are
locked to your host tempo for ease of use with various adjust-
ments that can be made to also help throw them off the grid!
2. SHAPE
There are options for the shape of the wave (SHAPE: trian-
gle/saw, pulse/square, random, sine). The transition knob adjusts
the shape of the triangle/saw, pulse/square and random waves
(TRANSITION: 0.000 to 1.000). The transition knob behaves
differently depending on which of these three shapes is active:
• TRI/SAW:
At 0.0 the shape is a down-saw, at 0.5 it is a triangle,
and at 1.0 it is an up-saw.
• PULSE/SQ:
The value is the pulse width with 0.5 producing a
square shape. Closer to 0.0 will result a longer period of the low
value and a shorter period of the high value. Closer to 1.0 will
result in a shorter period of the low value and a longer period
of the high value.
• RANDOM:
The value controls the interpolation between
random values. Closer to 1 the change to the random value
will be more immediate and closer to 0.0 the values will be
smoothed out (into a kind of randomised undulating wave).
This section also contains a control for the initial phase of the
LFO (INIT PHASE: 0.000-1.000) meaning that the LFO will start
oscillating at the point in the wave that you define.
3. RATE
Rate adjusts the frequency of the LFO based on your host tem-
po (RATE: OFF, 1/64 to 4/1) with the ability to scale this with the
rate scale to throw these off the locked tempo (RATE SCALE:
0.125 to 8). Dotted and triplet can be toggled on or off.
4. RESYNC
The frequency with which the LFO is resynced can also be ad-
justed (RESYNC: OFF, 1/64 to 4/1) with the Dotted and Triplet
options also available.
By using the rate scale in conjunction with the resync, interest-
ing effects with the LFOs can really make Phobos shine!
NB - All parameters can be set by double clicking on
