LFO WAVE (LFO Wave Shape)
The Mavis LFO creates two distinct wave shapes—triangle and square. This
knob allows you to mix these two waves together to create a greater variety
of modulation waves. Rotating the knob to the full clockwise position selects
the square wave. The square wave alternates between two distinct values,
one created at the top (crest) of the wave, and one created at the bottom
(trough) of the wave. Tremolo and imitative trills are good examples of square
wave modulation.
Rotating the knob to the full counterclockwise position selects the triangle
wave. The triangle wave creates a continuously changing value that sweeps
between the upper and lower limits of the wave. Vibrato is good example
of a triangle wave modulation, where the LFO is applied to the VCO PITCH
parameter. In between these two extremes, you can create a blend of these
two options to create new modulation wave shapes.
