LFO 1-4

You can use four separate LFOs. The LFOs 1 and 2 are polyphonic, and the LFOs 3 and 4 are monophonic.

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.

Freq

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

Delay

Determines the delay time between the moment you play a note and the moment the LFO takes effect.

Fade In

Sets the fade in time for the polyphonic LFOs.

Retrigger

Determines whether the LFO is restarted when a note is triggered. The waveform restarts at the position set with the Phase parameter.

• If this button is activated, the LFO starts with each triggered note.

• If this button is deactivated, the LFO runs freely.

Shared Phase

If Shared Phase is activated, each voice generates its own LFO signal, but the phases are synchronized, which means that the polyphonic LFO acts like a monophonic LFO.

Tip

If you want legato-played notes to use the phase of the first note, use Shared Phase in combination with Retrigger.

Sync Mode

Sync Mode is used to synchronize the LFO to the tempo of the host application.

• Select Off to adjust the speed of the modulation in Hertz.

• Select Tempo + Retrig to adjust the speed of the modulation in fractions of beats. You can also set dotted and triplet note values. The restart behavior of the LFO depends on the Retrigger Mode.

• Select Tempo + Beat to adjust the speed of the modulation in fractions of beats. You can also set dotted and triplet note values. The LFO restarts with the transport of the host and lines up to the beats of the project. The Retrigger Mode setting is not taken into account.

Note

The behavior of the Frequency parameter changes with the selected option.
