[LFO] knob
This knob adjusts the modulation intensity, when you use the modulator signal from the LFO section to control the fundamental
frequency (pitch) of the OSC.
The method of change depends on the setting of the [WAVE FORM] knob in the LFO section.
Mixing the output from the oscillator (source mixer)
Four waveforms are always output from the OSC, and you can mix their levels in the ratio you like. The source mixer output is sent
to the FILTER section.
