Dave Smith Instruments PROPHET 08 DESKTOP - Manual (Page 23)

Frequency: 0…150, sync – Sets the LFO frequency. Range 0–150 for un-
synced LFO; speed ranges from slow (30 seconds) to very fast – at 90 (8 HZ, C-
2) and above the speed steps in semitones, up to 150 (261 Hz, middle C).
Note: Some of the analog functions may not respond well to the fastest
LFO speeds, due to speed limitations of the control voltages; but they
will certainly generate some interesting sounds.
Above 150, the sync speeds are as follows:
Display Timing Sync
32 Steps Sequence speed divided by 32; that is, one LFO
cycle takes 32 steps
16 Steps Sequence speed divided by 16
8 Steps Sequence speed divided by 8
6 Steps Sequence speed divided by 6
4 Steps Sequence speed divided by 4
3 Steps Sequence speed divided by 3
2 Steps Sequence speed divided by 2
1.5 Step Sequence speed divided by 1.5
1 Step One cycle per step
2/3 Step Two cycles every three steps
1/2 Step Two cycles per step
1/3 Step Three cycles per step
1/4 Step Four cycles per step
1/6 Step Six cycles per step
1/8 Step Eight cycles per step
1/16Step Sixteen cycles per step

Random Random – changes once per cycle for
sample-and-hold effects
Amount: 0…100 – Sets the amount of LFO routed to the destination.
Key Sync – When this switch is enabled (lit) the LFO is re-started each time a
new note is played. Key Sync is set independently on each LFO .
