USER MANUAL
The following graph shows the Waveform sine being regulated, when the slider « Offset » is in an
intermediary position (Offset = 64)
If the amplitude generated by the LFO is greater than 127, it will be automatically « saturated » to 127.
In the same way, if it is less than 0 it will be forced to 0.
Adjustment of the frequency and synchronization
The LFO, like each of the 3 automation functions (LFO, arppeggiator, Motion Sampler), has its own
method of synchronization, independent of the other automations.
The LFO can therefore be synchronized on an internal time basis, generated by the Bitstream 3X, or
by the external MIDI clock on the MIDI In or USB In port.
The LFO and other automation functions have 3 modes of synchronization:
- Internal Synchronization, dependant on the BPM generated by the Bitstream 3X
- External Synchronization, dependant on the clock received on MIDI In
- External Synchronization, dependant on the clock received on USB In
Once the method of synchronization is chosen, via the menus of the Bitstream 3X, the user can adjust
the frequency of the LFO via a knob called « Frequency », in real time.
The slider covers 8 frequencies of synchronization for the LFO, described on the table below:
Synchronization of the LFO from the internal or external MIDI clock
SYNCHRONISATION : INTERNAL / EXTERNAL OF THE LFO (24 ppqn)
Mode Description Example @ 120 BPM - 4/4
INT/EXT 0 1/64 period / measure tbd Hz
INT/EXT 1 1/32 period / measure tdb Hz
INT/EXT 2 1/16 period / measure tbd Hz
INT/EXT 3 1/8 period / measure tbd Hz
INT/EXT 4 ¼ period / measure tbd Hz
INT/EXT 5 ½ period / measure tbd Hz
INT/EXT 6 1 period / measure tbd Hz
INT/EXT 7 1 sample at each clock tbd Hz
The value of the frequency of the Waveform generated depends on the value of the knob, as well as
the value of the BPM of the MIDI clock, which is received or generated by the Bitstream 3X.
