LFO
The LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) is another modulation source based on waveforms with
different shapes.

Controls
Description
Type Here you can choose the shape of the LFO waveform. Available shapes are
Sine , Tri (Triangle), Rect (Rectangle), Saw ,and Random .
Speed Controls the rate of the LFO measured in hertz (Hz). If you choose to
synchronize the Speed by activating Sync , it will show note values instead of
hertz.
Phase Defines the initial phase of the LFO waveform, from -0.50 to 0.50 .
Sync The Sync selector is used to synchronize the LFO with the tempo of your
Project. If Free is selected, the LFO rate is independent of the Project tempo. If
Retrig or Lock is enabled, the values of the Speed parameter will change into
note values ranging from 16/1 (= one modulation cycle in 16 bars) to 1/32 (one
cycle in 1/32nd note) and be synced with the Project tempo. While Retrig
restarts the LFO at each new note (each note has another LFO phase), Lock
keeps the LFO phase synchronized to the song position for all notes.
DESTINATION
This is where you define modulation targets for the LFO, i.e. the parameters you want this LFO to
control. The knobs adjust the amount of modulation for the following targets:
Parameter Modulation Destination
Pitch Tune parameter of the PITCH / GATE section on the Pitch / Envelope page
(page 2).
Cutoff Cutoff parameter of the FILTER section (with filter types LP2 , HP2 , BP2 only) on
the FX / Filter page (page 3).
Drive Drive parameter of the FX section on the FX / Filter page (page 3).
Pan Pan parameter on the Audio page of the Sound’s Output properties (see
Configuring the Main Output of Sounds and Groups for more information).
