Sync
The speed of the Sweep LFO can be synchronized to the tempo of
the host application by engaging the Sync button. Tempo Sync is
engaged when the button is in the “down” (gray) position and the
LED above the button is illuminated.
for complete details about this feature.
Rate Display
The rate of the Sweep LFO is displayed here. When Sync is inac-
tive, the LFO speed is displayed in Hertz. When Sync is active, the
LFO speed is shown as a beat division (or multiplier). The Rate Dis-
play is unique to the plug-in; the original hardware does not have
this feature.
Sweep LEDs
The Sweep LEDs, located above the Manual knob, per-
form two functions: LFO rate indication and LFO reset.
Rate
The Sweep LEDs illuminate in tandem with the current Sweep Speed, provid-
ing a visual indication of the LFO rate. The Width amount must be higher than
0% for the LEDs to blink. As Width increases, the blinking is more obvious.
The manner in which the LED response manifests depends on the state of the
Manual, Width, and Speed controls; their quirky behavior is the same as the
original hardware.
Reset
The LEDs provide a mechanism to reset the Sweep LFO so the sweep cycle
can be consistently controlled. The LFO cycle is reset to begin sweeping
“downwards” in pitch (negative sweep) by clicking either LED. This function,
which is not available on the hardware unit, can be automated for mixing or
bouncing.
Normally the Sweep LFO is “free running” but this behavior is not always de-
sirable. For example, you may want playback to always sound exactly the
same when bouncing or mixing. To accomplish this sonic consistency, the
Sweep LFO must be started at a specific place in the LFO cycle by using the
Reset function.
