mono
The LFO is shared between the voices of a program. It may be at
any point in its cycle when the first key is pressed. New voices will
“ride” that LFO, joining other voices at the exact same point in
the LFO’s cycle. The LFOs in each program are independent of
each other, so they can be running at different speeds.

each other, so they can be running at different speeds.
poly
Each voice’s LFO is completely independent of the others. When
a key is pressed, that voice’s LFO may be at the top of its cycle, at
the bottom, or anywhere else in the cycle when it begins to affect
the voice.

key-mono
The LFO is shared between the voices of a program. When the
first key is pressed, the LFO’s cycle resets to the beginning. When
a second key is pressed, the LFO will reset its cycle to the
beginning and start over.
key-poly
Each voice has its own LFO that resets when the voice is
triggered.
tempo lock
The LFO resets when the master tempo clock hits the “1,” as long
as TempoSync is set to “follow tempo”.

M1 Slider
To place the LFO’s amplitude under the total control of the (m1)
slider, set this value to 100%. To ignore the (m1) slider altogether,
set the value to 0%. Values in between allow for limited (m1)
control over the LFO.

Remember that it is
possible to have the LFOs
set independently, so that
one LFO’s Reset
parameter may be set to
poly, for example, while
the other’s is set to
key-mono.

Synchronizing the LFO’s to
your patterns and rhythms
If you want your LFOs to
sync up with your patterns
and rhythms, set TempoSync
to “follow tempo”, and set
Reset to “tempo lock”.

Why is my LFO not
working?
If you routed an LFO to a
destination in the mod matrix,
but it doesn’t seem to have
any effect, check the “m1
slider” parameter. If this
parameter is set to 100%,
then the LFO will only be
active if the m1 slider is up.
If you want the LFO to
always be active, set this
parameter to 0%.
