Fig. 4 The LFO waveforms
The red LED (5) follows the triangle output. The rectangle has an output
amplitude of ±5 V, where all other waveforms have an output of ±4 V.
By the controller (4) the LFO frequency is adjustable between 0.01 Hz and 100
Hz. By the CV-jack (3) the frequency can be controlled with a scale of about 0.5
V/Octave - this input is not calibrated.
Hint: This is a Low Frequency Oscillator specialized on very low frequencies. A
good volt/octave tracking can be achieved for frequencies up to 1 kHz.
Afterwards the sensitivity flattened more and more, i.e., higher voltage
increments are necessary for the same interval. It could be showed that this
behavior provides a lot better feeling to adjust modulations and bringing
surprisingly different results.

8.3 The Slope function

The controller (9) or the CV-jack (8), resp. adjusts the time ratio of the rising to
falling edge of the triangle wave while the frequency is kept constant - ideal
