Mono LFO Parameters

• 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 produced.

• Ramp is similar to the Saw waveform. Shape increasingly puts 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 randomly stepped modulation, where each step is different. Shape puts ramps between the steps and changes the S & H into a smooth random signal when fully turned 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 when fully turned right.

You can sync the LFO either to the tempo of the host application or to the step modulator. The behavior of the Frequency parameter depends on which option you select:

• 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 setting.

• 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 aligns with the beats of the project. The Retrigger setting is not taken into account.

Determines whether the LFO is restarted when a note is triggered. If this is set to First Note or Each Note, the waveform starts at the position specified by the Phase parameter.

• If this is set to Off, the LFO runs freely.

• If this is set to First Note, the LFO restarts when a note is triggered and no other notes are held.

• If this is set to Each Note, the LFO restarts each time a note is triggered.

Controls the frequency of the modulation, that is, the speed of the LFO. If Sync Mode is active, the frequency is set in fractions of beats, or number of steps of the step modulator.

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

If this button is activated, each note starts with a randomized start phase. The Phase control is deactivated.
