4.2 Modulators
A modulator is the source which generates the parameter changes. A
variety of modulators are available to select as the source. The destination
will be any device or mixer parameter. Note that modulators are
synchronised to the Play/Stop start control and to the global BPM.
The page displayed will reect the modulator loaded.

4.2.1 Wave - Modulator
An LFO or Low Frequency Oscillator is a wave which cycles continuously at
a dened rate. An LFO operates slower than an audio level oscillator and is
used for modulation. The Wave modulator is a classic LFO with warping
and morphing features to create complex and interesting shapes.
