The LFO 1 and LFO 2 pages allow you to use two monophonic LFOs whose parameter sets are identical.

LFO Wave Shape

Waveform selects the basic type of waveform. Shape changes the characteristics of the waveform.

  • Sine produces smooth modulation, suitable for vibrato or tremolo. Shape adds additional harmonics to the waveform.

  • Triangle is similar to Sine. Shape continuously changes the triangle waveform to a trapezoid.

  • Saw produces a ramp cycle. Shape continuously changes the waveform from ramp down to triangle to ramp up.

  • Pulse produces stepped modulation, where the modulation switches abruptly between two values. Shape continuously changes the ratio between the high and low state of the waveform. If Shape is set to 50%, a square wave is generated.

  • Ramp is similar to the Saw waveform. Shape adds a gradually increasing amount of silence before the sawtooth ramp up begins.

  • Log produces a logarithmic modulation. Shape continuously changes the logarithmic curvature from negative to positive.

  • S & H 1 produces random stepped modulation, where each step is different. Shape puts ramps between the steps and changes the S & H into a smooth random signal, with the control set fully to the right.

  • S & H 2 is similar to S & H 1. The steps alternate between random high and low values. Shape puts ramps between the steps and changes the S & H into a smooth random signal, with the control set fully to the right.

Rnd (Random Phase)

If this button is activated, each note starts with a randomized start phase.

Note

The Phase control cannot be used if Rnd is activated.

Phase

Sets the initial phase of the waveform when the LFO is retriggered.

Frequency

Controls the frequency of the modulation, that is, the speed of the LFO.

If Sync to Host Tempo is activated, you can set the frequency in fractions of beats and use dotted notes and triplets.

If Sync to Host Tempo is deactivated, you can set the frequency in Hz.

Sync to Host Tempo

Allows you to synchronize the LFO to the tempo of your host application.

Fade In

Sets the fade-in time for the LFO.

Modulation Rows

To the right of the LFO settings, the modulation rows are shown.
