Triggered LFO
LFO Wave
Clock
LFO Trigger causes the LFO to reset each time the clock waveform goes low.
The possibilities of clock modulation and retrigger are numerous and varied. A
repeating six segment curve of any shape can be created by triggering the Filter or
Auxiliary Envelope generators with the clock. A few other possibilities are listed below.
• Turn different voice layers on and off using different clock divisors.
• Create a global triangle LFO by routing the Clock through a Lag Processor.
• Switch between Auxiliary and Filter Envelope retriggering using a slider or footswitch.
• Retrigger LFOs or Envelopes using noise or other LFOs to create random or semi random
effects.
• Modulating the rate of triggered LFOs will alter the LFO waveform.
• Route multiple clocks with different divisors to the same destination (such as pitch) to create
complex patterns. (Hint: Adjust the Cord Amounts.)
