• You never hear the actual output of the LFO. Instead the output from the LFO is used for modulat-
ing, that is controlling, other functions, like for example the main oscillator frequency (vibrato) or the
filter frequency (wah-wah).

This routes the output of the LFO to the Pulse Width of both oscillators. For this to have any effect, pulse
wave must of course be selected for at least one of the oscillators. This destination can be used with an
LFO triangle waveform to create a “chorus-like” sound, suitable for strings and pads.
