LFOs
At the top left and top right of Bazille’s window are two dedicated low frequency oscillators. Each
has 3 parallel outputs at the bottom of the panel. Note that LFO 1 is also responsible for
.
Unipolar (+)
‘Unipolar’ causes the LFO’s waveform to be shifted upwards so that it only delivers
positive values instead of oscillating around zero. LFO amplitude is halved. Tip: If you
are using LFO1 for typical vibrato, you would usually want this switched off.
Rate
A value between -5.00 and 5.00 – the selector specifies how this value is interpreted. The first 3
options are absolute times measured in seconds (0.1, 1 or 10), all the others are synchronized
to host tempo. The five options with ‘dot’ in the name are
dotted
(50% is added to the cycle
length), and those with ‘trip’ in the name are
triplets
(3 cycles occupy the space of 2).
0.1s to 10s
absolute times: 1/10th, 1 or 10 seconds at Rate = 0.00.

1/64 to 8/1

To set up a vibrato rate of 5Hz, for instance, use ‘1s’ mode with Rate at 2.50. Or ‘0.1s’ with the
Rate set to -1.00. It’s not worth thinking about a conversion formula here – just use your ears!
Note that Bazille’s LFOs can be forced well into the audio range via
Rate Mod
‘trickery’…
Rate Mod
The depth of rate modulation from a source chosen in the selector.
