Instrument Envelope View - LFOs
LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) modulates an instrument parameter over time. Unlike
an envelope, it has a static shape that can be congured to repeat innitely or trigger
once like an envelope.
Each LFO has a destination, amount, oscillator shape selection, trigger behavior, and
frequency. The rst parameter “LFO” assigns an instrument parameter to the LFO, with
“AMT” controlling the amount. “OSC” is the oscillator shape - Triangle, sinusoidal, ramp
down, ramp up, exponential down, exponential up, square down, square up, random,
and drunk. The initial 10 shapes repeat with an additional “T” added to the end which
signies “Tick rate” where the frequency range runs much faster in ticks.

Trigger behavior (“TRG”) congures how the LFO will react when the instrument triggers
and when the shape reaches the end of a cycle:
• FREE - Loop the shape and not reset on new notes/instrument triggers.
• RETRIG - Loop the shape and reset on each new instrument trigger.
• HOLD - Hold the last value of the shape instead of repeating from the beginning.
• ONCE - Play through the shape once and reset to the start value.
Frequency (“FRQ”) is the rate at which the LFO cycles. The value is represented in steps
(16th notes) or in ticks when the OSC is set to one of the tick “T” rate shapes.
