Random4–6(Continuous)aresmoothedversionsofRan‐
dom1–3,withrampsinsteadofsteps.Youcanusethemto
createmoregentlerandomvariations.
Frequency [00...99]
ThiscontrolsthespeedoftheLFO,beforeanymodulation.
Highervaluesmeanfasterspeeds,asshowninthetable
below.
ByusingAMSmodulation,youcanalsogetspeedsmuch
fasterandmuchslowerthanareavailablethroughthisbasic
setting.
Start Phase [–180...+180, RND (Random)]
Thiscontrolsthephaseofthewaveformatthestartofthe
note,instepsof5degrees.
If“KeySync”isOff,theStartPhasewillapplyonlytothe
firstnoteofthephrase.
Shape [–99...+99]
Shapeaddscurvaturetothebasicwaveform.Asyoucansee
inthegraphicbelow,thiscanmakethewaveformseither
moreroundedormoreextreme.Itcanalsobeusefulto
emphasizecertainvalueranges,andde‐emphasizeothers.
Forexample,let’ssaythatyouareusingatriangleLFOto
mo
dulatefiltercutoff.IfShapeemphasizesthehighvalue
range,thefilterwillspendmoretimeatthehigherfrequen‐
cies.Ifitemphasizesthelowrange,thefilterwillspend
moretimeatthelowerfrequ encies.

Note:ShapedoesnotaffecttheSquareandRandom3wave‐
forms,sincetheirva

theseareselected,Shapeisgrayedout.
OSC 2
