Value LFO
The value LFO is a classic low-frequency oscillator, continuous or retriggered by notes, that sweeps any page parameter at a synced or free speed.
Value is the general-purpose LFO: a repeating wave aimed at one parameter. Synced to the tempo it makes rhythmic filter sweeps or pulsing levels; slow and free it gives gradual drift. With a normal destination every note starts the wave from the same point, so repeated notes sound alike.
How to
Sweep a track's filter cutoff in time with the tempo
before you start instrument mode · M4 shows the value LFO
- 1 choose the filter page
- 2 choose cutoff
- 3 stay in the synced range and pick a rate
- 4 set the depth
Details
- TE’s guide
Value drives its target with a low-frequency oscillator that either runs continuously or is triggered.
- TE’s guide
Every page appears twice as a destination, normal and free. On a normal one the modulation restarts with each key press; on a free one it keeps running.
- worked out
The normal destinations give the triggered behaviour and the free ones the continuous behaviour.
- TE’s changelog
Before OS 1.1.15, the slowest free-running speed stopped the value LFO altogether.
- checked on a unit · 1.1.33
The value page shows speed, amount on a tick ladder, a scrolling column of destination cards and a large card naming the target parameter (attack, cutoff, res, key …) over an animated knob.
- checked on a unit · 1.1.33
The destination column holds six cards, syn (the engine), env and filter, each followed by a twin labelled free with the same icon; there is no LFO destination.
