3.3.1 LFO1 and LFO2
Maul's LFOs can operate at speeds of
up to 1024 Hz.
The LFO modules' Visualizers
represent the current LFO shape.
Sync button
With the Sync button enabled, the
Rate control is set in BPM values
derived from the tempo of the host
within which Maul is running.
With the Sync button disabled, the Rate control is set in Hz.
Rate
The Rate control dictates the speed of the LFO's oscillation.
Maul also features a way of using MIDI notes to switch between sync'd LFO rates on the fly, even
with the Sync button disabled.
Shape
The Shape control morphs the shape of the LFO continuously through various waveform shapes.
At the default setting of 50%, the LFO shape is a sine wave.
LFO Shape 0% LFO Shape 25% LFO Shape 50% LFO Shape 75% LFO Shape 100%
Morph
The Morph control shifts the centre point of the waveform without altering the wavelength. It is
similar to a pulse width control in that it varies the duty cycle of the waveform.
Phase
The Phase control allows you to adjust the phase of the LFO within 360 degrees.
Note: This control cannot be modulated with the TransMod system.
Gain
The Gain control offers a final attenuation control for the output of the module before it enters the
TransMod modulation system. At 100%, no attenuation is applied to the output modulation signal.
This control is intended to be modulated by other TransMod sources, in a similar way to using a
VC A to scale one modulation source with another in an analogue modular system.
MIDI note functions
Maul's LFOs respond to incoming MIDI notes on channel 1 for resetting to the start phase and for
setting various sync'd LFO times. These functions are summarized in the Advanced MIDI section.
