jumping » will occur.
It is possible that once the user selects a new automation, the physical position of one of the knobs will
not correspond to the value of the parameter anymore; the user should then put the knob back into the
position of the previous value in order to avoid unwanted jumps.
For more information concerning Hook Mode, refer to the dedicated chapter.
Functions of the controls associated with automations
The table below summarizes the functions associated to the three knobs as well as the automation
parameter button, depending on the current function selected.
Note that the SHIFT key can be used to access the different parameters (changing the value of a knob
or button while holding the SHIFT)

Waveforms Generator: Low Frequency Oscillator
Goal
The LFO (Waveforms Generator) allows the generation of a Waveform in different shapes: sine,
square, triangular or random.
This wave can be considered like a slider or knob, and therefore introduced in any MIDI chain defined
by the user. This functionality of the Bitstream 3X gives the user a MIDI control without having to
manually and continually modify a slider.
Each of these 4 Waveforms can be controlled as far as amplitude, offset and frequency, which offers a
large flexibility in configuration of the parameter to control.
Selection of the Waveform
The LFO can generate the following waveforms:
- Sine
- Square
- Triangle
- Random
All these waveforms can be adjusted in amplitude, frequency and offset, with the help of the 3
dedicated knobs
The button #1 allows selecting one of these waveforms, which will be displayed on the LCD.
Changing the waveform is performed in real-time, as soon as the user press on the dedicated button
For instance, using the sine waveform on a volume control will have for effet to create an amplitude
modulation, using the random waveform allows to insert into the assigned LFO MIDI event any
random value, that can be useful to create a continuous modification of a parameter, randomly.
Output Amplitude
A knob is dedicated to regulate the amplitude of the generated waveform. It allows the user to vary it
from 0 to 63 and can be adjusted at any time.
