LFO 1-4 CHANNEL SELECT BUTTONS:
To select an LFO for parameter editing, press one of these
buttons. The active LFO LED will now be lit and you can now
start dialing various settings. To switch to another LFO, push
another one of the buttons and so forth.
RECORD:
To record parameter automation in a sequence for an LFO,
select the LFO channel button you want to record sequenced
automation so that it is lit, then hold the RECORD button
while you move the sliders. Make sure you are already
receiving incoming clock or this feature will not work
otherwise. Now you can change the direction of the
sequence as well by adjusting the sequence direction switch.
CLEAR:
Holding CLEAR while moving sliders will clear existing
automation recording for that specific control. Holding CLEAR
while pressing a channel select button will clear all automation
for that channel.
FAST/SLOW/TEMPO SPEED SWITCH:
Set each LFO to either FAST, SLOW or TEMPO (clock based)
cycling. Each of the 4 LFOs can have a different speed setting
via this switch. FAST and SLOW modes will ignore incoming
clock. The LEDs under the switch represent position.
Frequency Ranges:
Fast Mode: 1hz to ~2khz
Slow Mode: ~3 seconds to 1hz
Tempo Sync Mode: 64 clock pulses per cycle (or 4 bars) to 1
clock pulse per cycle (1/16th notes).
TRIGGER:
To set an LFO to trigger a one-shot cycle of a waveform, first
make sure you have an external trigger source connected to
gate inputs 1-4, select an LFO button and then press TRIGGER.
FOLLOW:
To enter FOLLOW MODE (LFOs 2 thru 4 can follow LFO 1 and
their individual phases can be adjusted to create quadrature),
select LFO buttons 2-4 and then the FOLLOW button.

SMOOTH AND "STEP" FUNCTIONS:
The Quad LFO automation sequences are set to
SMOOTH by default (we've added a bit of slew to these
transitions so that they are seamless). However if you
want the transitions to be more abrupt for a particular
LFO animation sequence, hold the RECORD button while
pressing one of the LFO channel select buttons. You will
now see the sequence steps on LED bargraph pulse in a
more step like manner.
