The LFO block
D-Pole’s LFO has a maximum
frequency of more than 7000 Hz.
It can modulate the filter and the
signal’s stereo position. Its three
different waveforms can be
synced to the audio signal.
Speed 0 Hz...>7000 Hz
This controls the LFO speed. Additionally you can select a pop-up menu with often
used measure units.

Turn the Speed dial to the left to get a slowly oscillating LFO.If you turn the dial to
the extreme left, the LFO will stop to oscillate.
 Turn the Speed dial to the right to get a fast oscillating LFO.At values above 20 Hz
the LFO enters the audio range, and the filter or Panning modulation changes from a
periodic loop to an audible tone.
 Click on the display of the Speed dial to select a pop-up menu with often used mea-
sure units and choose the desired value. The pop-up menu is only available if Tem-
po is set to a value unequal to „off“.
Slow LFO speeds are displayed and quantized as bars/beats, fast LFO speeds are dis-
played in Hz. The tempo for slow speeds must be set with the Tempo dial.
w
Please note that Speed can only display the exact frequency in Hz when the LFO
Shape is set to Sine. If the waveforms Triangle or Saw are used, slight deviations in
LFO speed can occur. These LFO waveforms do need a slight synchronization to
the sample frequency to keep aliasing noise as low as possible. Aliasing will occur
and can be used to create interesting effects, if Speed is set to extremely high va-
lues.
Shape Sine, Triangle, Saw
Click on one of the “LEDs” to select the desired LFO waveform.

Sine : The LFO oscillates in sine shape.
 Triangle : The LFO oscillates in a triangle shape.
 Saw : The LFO oscillates in a saw tooth shape with a downward slope, i.e. it has a
strong attack and a soft release.
w
Please note that the LFO waveforms Triangle and Saw are slightly quantized.
Cutoff Mod -100%...0%...+100%
Using the Cutoff Mod dial you control the degree to which filter Cutoff is modulated by
the LFO.
 Turn the Cutoff Mod dial to the left to get a reversed Cutoff Modulation, i.e. if the
LFO rises, Cutoff is reduced and vice versa.
