How Does It Work?#

LFO is a four-output modulation source that generates simultaneous sine, triangle, saw, and square waves from one shared rate control.

Quick Overview#

  • All four waveforms run at the same rate and phase relationship.
  • The Rate knob sets the base speed.
  • The FM input modulates rate exponentially.
  • Each output is a bipolar modulation signal suitable for patch animation, pitch movement, or rhythmic modulation.

Inputs And Outputs#

PortTypeWhat It Does
RateCV inputExponential rate modulation for the oscillator.
SinCV outputSine-wave output.
TriCV outputTriangle-wave output.
SawCV outputSaw-wave output.
SqrCV outputSquare-wave output.

Behavior Notes#

  • The Rate input is exponential, so positive CV speeds the LFO up and negative CV slows it down.
  • All outputs are generated at the same time, so you can patch multiple shapes from one master modulator.
  • The outputs are bipolar CV signals in the standard modulation range.
  • With no cable on Rate, the knob alone defines the speed.
