LFO Section
A low-frequency oscillator (LFO) generates a periodic waveform with an
adjustable frequency and shape which can be used for modulation
purposes.
Wave sets the LFO waveform. Click the drop-down menu and select
one of the following:
• Triangle (best suited for smooth modulations)
• Sine (best suited for smooth modulations)
• Square (interesting results with hard-panning modulations)
• Saw (can generate interesting filter or volume changes)
• Saw Down (can generate interesting filter or volume changes)
• Noise (generates random values and glides)
• S&H (samples a random value and holds it until the next value is generated)
Rate determines the LFO frequency when Sync is on. At lower values, it might take some time for the
LFO to complete a cycle, while higher values will come closer to audible range.
Sync will synchronize the LFO to the tempo, based on the rate selected in the drop-down menu. When
None is selected, Sync is off.
The LFO modulation Destinations determine the amount of effect of the LFO has on Pitch, Filter Cutoff
frequency (Filter), Volume (Amp) and Panning (Pan).
Hardware: To edit the LFO parameters, press the F5 button (Lfo Mod). For Drum Programs, use Q-Link
Knobs Q1–Q7 for direct access to all seven parameters. For Keygroup Programs, use Q-Link Knobs
Q5–Q12 for direct access to all seven parameters. (Remember that a Drum Program uses different
controls than a Keygroup Program.)
