LFO Tabs
The tabs LFO1 and LFO2 feature 2 monophonic LFOs, and the tabs LFO3 and
LFO4 feature 2 polyphonic LFOs.
In this context, monophonic means that the LFOs are calculated once and feed
multiple voices at the same time, whereas the polyphonic LFOs are calculated per
voice.

The Wave control determines the basic type of waveform. The characteristics
of the selected waveform are modified with the Shape control.
• Sine produces smooth modulation. Shape adds additional harmonics
to the waveform.
• Triangle is similar to Sine. Shape continuously changes the triangle
waveform to a trapezoid.
• Saw produces a ramp cycle. Shape continuously changes the
waveform from ramp down to triangle to ramp up.
• Pulse produces stepped modulation, where the modulation switches
abruptly between two values. Shape continuously changes the ratio
between the high and low state of the waveform. If Shape is set to 50 %,
a square wave is produced.
• S & H 1 produces randomly stepped modulation, where each step is
different. Shape puts ramps between the steps and changes the S & H
into a smooth random signal when fully turned right.
• S & H 2 is similar to S & H 1. The steps alternate between random high
and low values. Shape puts ramps between the steps and changes the
S & H into a smooth random signal when fully turned right.
Specifies the initial phase of the LFO when a note is triggered.
To restart the LFO with a random start phase each time that you trigger a note,
activate the RND button.
Controls the frequency of the modulation, that is, the speed of the LFO.
Sets the fade in time for the LFO.
