Random Sample-and-Hold LFO
The random sample-and-hold constantly undulates between values selected at random (actually, it is
a long, repeating pseudo-random sequence). A random value is chosen (or "sampled") and that value
is held on the output for a certain amount of time until a new random value is chosen. This wave
shape can create very chaotic effects and first became popular in the golden age of modular synths.
LFO Min Parameter
When an LFO is active for a given expression output, the Min parameter controls the minimum
frequency of the LFO. This corresponds to the minimum (heel depressed) position of the treadle. By
default, the minimum frequency is 0.1 Hz.
LFO Max Parameter
When an LFO is active for a given expression output, the Max parameter controls the maximum
frequency of the LFO. This corresponds to the maximum (toe depressed) position of the treadle. By
default, the maximum frequency is 10 Hz.
LFO Min and Max Parameters with MIDI Clock
If the LFO Min or LFO Max parameters are used when MIDI Clock is being sent to the Reflex, the LFO
can be synchronized to beat divisions in time with the MIDI Clock signal.
In order to use the LFO beat division options, decrease the LFO Min and LFO Max parameters until
they reach a value below zero. There are 6 possible values below zero: 1-4, 1-3, 1-2, 1-1, 2-1, and 4-1.
These represent the ratios of a beat that the LFO can sync to.
The following table shows the relationship between the parameter value on the Reflex's display and
the corresponding beat division, as well as the musical equivalent.
