Quad LFO is a 4-channel variable waveform LFO module. In addition to waveform parameters such as Frequency, Phase, Shape, Distort, and Level, parameters that can be selected with switches can be set for each channel. Use the LFO select buttons at the bottom to select a channel before editing.
The setting time can be switched from Slow / Fast / Tempo Sync with a switch. In the case of Tempo Sync, the time is set in synchronization with the input clock. The parameters set with the slider are as follows.
- Frequency: LFO speed control
- Phase: Control of waveform start timing
- Shape: Control to morph between sine, ramp, saw, and pulse waveforms
- Distort: Control to add dirty elements to LFO like FOLD ~ BIT CRUSH ~ NOISE
- Level: Controls the size of the output waveform
"Follow" and "Trig" switch the trigger mode of the LFO for each envelope
When Follow is pressed and lit on CH2-4, the speed is equal to CH1. Since the Phase can be set independently, an LFO (quadrature mode) that alternates at the same speed can be realized. When Trig is pressed and lit, the LFO operates in one-shot mode in which only one cycle can be output with the gate input.
The Quad LFO has a clock input, and slider parameter operations can be recorded and looped for each channel in 16 steps synchronized with the clock (
automation). Select the channel to record, and move the slider while pressing the RECORD button. Changes in the recorded parameters are reflected in a smoothed manner, but if you want to automate step by step for each step, you can switch between stepped / smoothing by pressing the corresponding channel button while pressing the Record button. Move the slider while pressing CLEAR to clear the automation. The reset input is used to reset the automation sequence. The automation sequence direction can be changed for each channel.
Also, it can be linked with Varigate 8 + / 4 +, and when sharing the same power bus, you can do the following.
- If not patched to CLK, Varigate clock will automate
- Saving presets on the Varigate side: Saving on the Varigate side allows you to save the automation sequence on the Varigate side. At this time, the number of presets that can be stored depends on the Varigate side
