LFO
SaxLab 2’s LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) section is located on the lower
left of the instrument’s Front Panel. The LFO section contains nine controls for
setting various parameters of the instrument’s LFO. The controls include: DEL
(Delay), ATK (Attack), Rate, Pitch, AMP, CTD (Controller Depth) and
Controller Source. SaxLab 2’s LFO works slightly differently to other
synthesizer LFOs so you may want to read the following section carefully.
DEL (Delay Time): The DEL (Delay Time) control is used to set a time delay
between the note onset and when the LFO begins to modulate the
instrument’s output. If this is used in conjunction with the ATK (Attack Time)
control then the LFO's attack envelope will not begin until the delay time has
elapsed.
ATK (Attack Time): The ATK (Attack Time) control is used to set the amount of
time taken for the LFO to move from zero to the current value of the Pitch and
Amp controls.
Rate: The LFO’s Rate control functions differently depending upon whether or
not a MIDI Controller Source (see below) is selected. If a MIDI Controller
Source is not currently selected then the Rate control sets a default oscillator
frequency for the LFO. When a MIDI controller is selected as a Controller
Source the Rate control sets a minimum rate for the LFO. In this case, the
