ABSYNTH 5 Reference Manual – 135
• Phase: Here, set the Phase with which the LFO waveform in Poly Mode is started when
a note is struck. It begins with a value of 0 at “Start” (as seen in the Wave Window: left),
the middle begins when a value of 50 is reached, and the “End” begins with 100 (as
seen in the Wave Window: right). Since a waveform passage immediately returns to “Start”
after the “End” is reached, 0 and 100 produce identical results. You can use this con-
troller when you want to start at a specic point in a waveform: If, for example, you want
to use a Sine to modulate pitch (Vibrato), but rst you want to lower the tone rather than
raise it, you can do this with a Phase of 50: This way, the oscillations begin in the middle
of the sine curve. Make sure the LFO in Mono mode does not restart the set Phase
through the struck note. In this case, you can use the Retrigger Button.
• Rate: The speed of the LFO is dened in beats per minute according to the condition of
the Rate Mode switches. In a set time frame, the selected Waveform will be passed
through once.
•
Sample&Hold: Turn the Sample&Hold Module on and off. A Rate control parallel to the LFO
Rate control controls the tapping points as long as the Module is active. The lower the fre-
quency, the longer an individual value belonging to the LFO Waveform will stay constant.
9.2 Modulation Sections
There are three Modulation sections set above one another. The two at the top determine
which parameters of ABSYNTH 5 will be modulated with the Signal of the LFO. The section
at the very top contains the parameters that are available by Channel or Module, for example,
the pitch tones of the Oscillator Modules. Underneath that section follow the parameters that
have global inuence, such as the ADSR Controller or the Effect parameter. The section on
the very bottom establishes how the LFO itself can be modulated through Macro Controls.
