Internal Sources
Basically each internal Flexible Modifier of Independence contains its own „preset“ pull-down
menu, so beside the overall presets for your Flexible Modifiers you can additionally manage the
presets for each single Internal Modifier individually. Also these „preset“ pull-down menus contain
the copy/paste option for the immediate transfer of your settings to other internal Flexible Modifiers
without having to save them before.
Additionally you can minimize the display of each internal Modifier simply with a click on the
open/close triangle in the upper left corner of each Modifier. Even in closed mode you still have full
control over the basic parameters of the internal Modifiers.
LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator)
In addition to the main oscillator(s) of a synthesizer, which is responsible for the creation of
the audio signal itself, an LFO is an additional oscillator that operates at a comparatively lower
frequency (hence its name), that modulates the audio signal, thus causing a difference to be heard
in the signal without the actual introduction of another sound source. Low Frequency Oscillation
as a concept was first introduced in the modular synths of the 1960s and 70s — often its effect
was ‚accidental‘; such were the extensive capabilities of a modular synth operator to patch the
instrument to create a vast array of different configurations. They have since appeared in some form
on almost every synthesizer, and more recently other electronic instruments such as samplers have
included them, to augment their capacity for sound alteration.
