Element LFO (gyroscope, microphone, envelope)
The element LFO turns the unit's own sensors into a modulation source — tilt (gyroscope), the built-in microphone, the amp envelope, or all three summed.
Element makes the instrument physical. With the gyroscope, tilting the OP-XY sweeps whatever you aim it at; with the microphone, sound in the room becomes modulation; the amp envelope source follows the shape of each note. It suits live performance more than programmed patterns.
Details
- TE’s guide
Element takes its modulation from the OP-XY itself rather than from an oscillator.
- TE’s changelog
OS 1.0.50 raised the maximum depth of gyroscope modulation.
- TE’s changelog
OS 1.1.0 fixed a bug that affected element when the amp envelope was its source.
- checked on a unit · 1.1.33
Element shows its source as an icon — G for the gyroscope, a microphone, ^ for the envelope, or sum — then amount on a tick ladder, destination cards (synth wave, env, filter, amp) and a card naming the parameter, such as attack, cutoff, pitch or pan.
