LFO SYNC (OFF, KB, MIDI)
Selects the sync options for the LFO. A setting of ‘OFF’ means that the LFO is free-running. A setting of
‘KB’ will cause the LFO to be restarted from 0 degrees every time a pedal is depressed (this means 0V
for the Triangle and Ramp waveforms, and the top of the Square and Sawtooth waveforms). When LFO
SYNC is set to ‘MIDI’, the LFO RATE parameter becomes a MIDI clock divider offering 20 different time
value options as shown in the table below. The divisor is based on 24 clocks per quarter note (the MIDI
standard). Note that if no MIDI clock is present when LFO SYNC is set to ‘MIDI’, the LFO will run at
the rate stored in the Preset for the free-running condition, but divided by the clock divider setting.
Additional CV control:
The FILTER jack on the side-panel is a CV input for external control of the filter cutoff parameter. The
jack accepts 0 to +5 volts, or an expression pedal like the Moog EP-2. A voltage applied to this jack is
added to the setting of the filter cutoff control. A one volt change in the control voltage will change the
cutoff frequency of the filter by about one octave.

When LFO SYNC is set to ‘MIDI’, the LFO RATE parameter becomes
a MIDI clock divider that can be programmed to one of 20 (21) dif-
ferent values. The divisor is based on 24 clocks per quarter note (the
MIDI standard). The table below shows how the number of MIDI clocks
relates to musical time values. The default clock divider value is “/4” (24
clocks/quarter note)
