Low Frequency Oscillators
Sequential
There are many ways to make creative use of the LFOs:
• Route the LFO to the coarse freq parameter of the oscillators to create
vibrato (triangle wave) or random pitches (s&h/random wave).
• Route the LFO’s triangle wave to the lter’s cutoff parameter and use
a medium freq and amount setting to create a wah-wah effect, or use
a slow freq setting and low amount setting to create subtle harmonic
movement.
• Route the LFO’s square wave to the amplier’s amount parameter and
use a medium freq and amount setting to create a tremolo effect.
• Route an LFO to an oscillator’s shape parameter to make its timbre
evolve. This can be particularly interesting when using Oscillator 3
wavetables.
• Route the LFO’s triangle wave to the time parameter of the stereo delay
and use a slow freq and low amount setting to create a chorus effect.
Any LFO can be routed to any destination (or multiple destinations) using the
modulation matrix. See page 120 for a list of destinations.
Additional LFO Parameters (Display Menus)
Additional LFO parameters are accessible through the menus in the main
display. To see these menus, adjust any of the controls in lfo portion of the
front panel.

Shape: Triangle, Sawtooth, Reverse Sawtooth, Square, Random—This
button sets the waveshape of the selected LFO.
Frequency: Sets the frequency of the selected LFO from a slow .022Hz
to a fast 500Hz. This is affected by the sync (clock sync) parameter,
when on.
