  • Page 3: Short Description

    1. Short description The "µMLFO" module provides 14 synchronizable (or free-running) LFOs with bipolar voltage output (+-5V). It can be operated via MIDI or analog clock. The tempo of the LFOs is determi- ned by the speed of the corresponding clock and the divider settings (rate). After receiving a MIDI Start command, the LFOs will run to MIDI clock and will then sync their rate accordingly.

    2.3 MIDI connections The module has two MIDI sockets (TRS-B standard mini jacks) INPUT and THRU. Connect the MIDI input to the MIDI output of your keyboard / sequencer or computer. The data received at MIDI-IN is forwarded via MIDI-THRU. A corresponding commercially available adapter (MIDI-DIN to Mini TRS- B) or a 3.5mm (1/8 inch) stereo jack cable is used for the MIDI connection.

    3. Handling 3.1 RATE - CLOCK MODI RATE (LFO Speed) The LFO speed results from the tempo of the external analog or MIDI clock and from the RATE divi- ders specified in the patch (see list of patches and SYSEX values). Values between 32nd notes and 128 bars can be set.
  • Page 7: Lfo Wave (Waveforms)

    3.2 LFO - WAVE (Waveform) The module has 17 different waveforms (numbers 0-16). These are or can be placed on any out- put. The assignments of the outputs are defined in 12 unchangeable preset patches, but anot- her 12 patches can be loaded via SYSEX file. The waveforms are generated digitally according to the DDS principle (Digital Direct Synthesis).

  • Page 9: Lfo Phase (Phase Shift)

    3.3 LFO - PHASE (Phase shift) The starting point of the waveform can be set in 22.5° increments. This allows, for example, offbeat waveforms to be realized at the same rate (180° shift). In the 12 preset patches you will find some preset phase shifts (see list). You can change the phases of the LFOs in the 12 user patches via SYSEX (see appendix SYSEX).

    To change the patch, send MIDI notes on the set receive channel. The patches are over 2 octa- ves starting at note number 36 (see graphic). On the Flame website in the download area you will find some ready-made SYSEX files for USER presets and GLOBAL SETUPs.
