To get to the Automator settings below you can either press
OK
on the Automator function or use
the
DOWN
button. To get back you use the
UP
button.
In the Automator settings you can navigate between the settings and change values with
SHIFT +
LEFT/RIGHT.
For the LFO, if the cursor is on the RST field, then a LFO reset can be triggered by
pressing
OK.
Automator functions
The following Automator functions are currently implemented:
•
LFO
A low frequency oscillator with several waveforms and many parameters. The LFO is
continuously running but can be started/stopped through the slot start/stop.
There are 2 ways to manipulate the parameters of the LFO. 1
st
by using the Slot editor
below in the automation screen. And 2
nd
through the Automator slot manipulation
commands in the FX column of the sequencer.
LFO Parameters and characteristics:
- Waveforms:
Sine, Triangle, Sawtooth, Pulse, White Noise, Pink Noise
- Clock sources:
-
Free running
-
Slow
→ Same as free running, except for that the speed is 100 times slower.
-
Tick
→ Clock is synchronized to the sequencer ticks. If speed it set to 1, then one
LFO waveform cycle has the same length as one pattern while the LFO advances with
every tick.
-
Pattern
→ Clock is synchronized to the pattern rows. If speed it set to 1, then one LFO
waveform cycle has the same length as one pattern while the LFO changes with every
pattern row (derived from main clock). The effect is kind of a stepped LFO
-
Slot 0..7
→ The clock is derived from the output of another slot. While the speed
parameter works as a divider. This can be used to achieve a Frequency Modulation
(FM) while the frequency is modulated from another slot.
-
STP-MUL
→ Advances the LFO waveform with every main clock sequencer step with
a multiplier. The Multiplier is being set in the Speed function.
-
STP-DIV
→ Advances the LFO with every sequencer step divided by the divider which
is set up in the speed field.
-
TCK-MUL
→ Same as step, but mainly with a higher resolution with ticks.
-
TCK-DIV
→ Also the same but with a divider.
