Lfo - Akai MPC X User Manual

LFO

A low-frequency oscillator (LFO) generates a periodic waveform with an adjustable frequency and shape which can
be used for modulation purposes.
Use the Wave field to select the LFO waveform type:
Sine (best suited for smooth modulations)
Triangle (best suited for smooth modulations)
S&H (samples a random value and holds it until the next value is generated)
Saw (can generate interesting filter or volume changes)
Saw Down (can generate interesting filter or volume changes)
Square (interesting results with hard-panning modulations)
Noise (generates random values and glides)
Use the Rate field to determine the LFO frequency. At lower values, it might take some time for the LFO to complete
a cycle, while higher values will come closer to audible range.
Use the Sync field to set if the LFO's rate is synchronized with the tempo. You can select one of several time
divisions (a . indicates a dotted note; a T indicates a triplet-based time division). When None is selected, Sync is off.
Use the Destinations sliders to determine how much the LFO affects the pitch of the sound (Pitch), the cutoff
frequency of the filter (Filter), the volume level of the sound (Amp) and panning of the sound (Pan).
