32 Low Frequency Oscillators Sequential
LFO Parameters
Frequency: Sets the frequency of the selected LFO from a slow .022Hz
to a fast 500Hz. This is affected by the
clk sync
(clock sync) parameter
as explained below.
Amount: Sets the amount of LFO modulation routed to the selected
destination. Setting an amount here applies the selected modulation
continuously. You can also use the modulation matrix to route an LFO
to additional destinations and use a different modulation amount if you
want.
Shape: Triangle, Sawtooth, Reverse Sawtooth, Square, S&H —This
button sets the waveshape of the selected LFO.
Clock Sync: When on, the LFO synchronizes with the master clock,
which controls the Arpeggiator, Sequencer, and certain effects such as the
various delays.
Destination: Various —Routes the selected LFO to one of the many
modulation destinations within the synthesizer. These appear in the
display. You can also use the modulation matrix to route an LFO to addi-
tional destinations.
There are many ways to make creative use of the LFOs:
• Route an LFO to the
fine
parameter of the oscillators to create vibrato
(
triangle
wave) or random pitches (
s & h
/
random
wave).
• Route an LFO’s triangle wave to the filter’s
cutoff
parameter and use
a medium
freq
and
amount
setting to create a wah-wah effect, or use
a slow
freq
setting and low
amount
setting to create subtle harmonic
movement.
• Route an LFO’s square wave to the amplifier’s
amount
parameter and
use a medium
freq
and
amount
setting to create a tremolo effect.
• Route an LFO to an oscillator’s
shape
parameter to make its timbre
evolve.
• Route the LFO’s triangle wave to the
time
parameter of the stereo delay
and use a slow
freq
and low
amount
setting to create a chorus effect.
