thumb|LFO controls (Low Frequency Oscillator)
An LFO is used to modulate parameters such as amplitudes, frequencies or filters.
Controls
thumb|LFO controls, shape selection menu open
The main LFO controls are:
FREQ: frequency = LFO speed
DEPTH: LFO amplitude
START: start phase = position the LFO starts at
DELAY: delay between the note start and the LFO start
shape: envelope shape can be sine, triangle, square, ramp up, ramp down, exp1 down, exp2 down
Other controls:
STR: stretch = controls how much the LFO frequency changes according to the note's frequency
when negative, the LFO frequency is decreased on higher notes
when zero, the LFO frequency is the same on all notes
when positive, the LFO frequency is increased on higher notes
A.R.: amplitude randomness
F.R.: frequency randomness
SYNC: continuous mode = when on the LFO won't be reset on each new note but will synchronize
