Low Frequency Oscillators
lation continuously. You can also use the modulation matrix to route an
LFO to additional destinations and use a different modulation amount.
SHAPE: (Sine, Triangle, Reverse Saw, Saw, Square, Pulse 1, Pulse 2, Pulse 3,
Random)
This knob sets the waveshape of the selected LFO.
DESTINATION: Routes the selected LFO to one of the many modulatable
destinations within the synthesizer. You can also use the modulation
matrix to route an LFO to additional destinations.
DELAY: (0-100) Sets a variable amount of delay before the selected wave-
shape is applied. A simple use for this is to create a delayed vibrato
effect.
SYNC: (on/off) (In the menus) When on, the LFO synchronizes with the
master clock, which controls the arpeggiator, sequencer, and certain
effects.
NOTE RESET: (on/off) (In the menus) Enabling Note Reset makes the LFO
wave cycle reset each time you press a key. This is useful if you want to
ensure that the full waveshape is applied each time you strike a key.
There are many ways to make creative use of the LFOs:
• Route the LFO to the pitch parameter of the oscillators to create vibrato
(triangle wave) or random pitches (s&h/random wave).
• Route the LFO’s triangle wave to the lter’s
cutoff parameter and use
a medium freq and amount setting to create a wah-wah effect, or use
a slow freq setting and low amount setting to create subtle harmonic
movement.
• Route the LFO’s square wave to the amplier’s
env amount parameter
and use a medium LFO freq and amount setting to create a tremolo
effect.
• Route an LFO to an oscillator’s wave offset parameter to make its
timbre evolve.
• Route the LFO’s triangle wave to the
time parameter of the stereo delay
and use a slow
freq and low amount setting to create a chorus effect.
Any LFO can be routed to any destination (or multiple destinations) using the
modulation matrix.
