Automation can add some highly creative and interesting features to a
sound. This is applied by modulating parameters in the instrument sample.
This can transition from a simple, static audio sound (when type is off) to
add some subtle movement to generative and evolving sound designs. Try
combining and experimenting with automation.
LFO - Low Frequency Oscillator
A low frequency oscillator (LFO) operates at a lower frequency than a
normal audio oscillator which is typically used as an audio generator. The
purpose of an LFO is to act as a modulator for parameters of other devices,
to add interest and create movement. A common use of an LFO is to add a
vibrato effect to control the pitch of a sound.
