Stair Generator - LinPlug MorphoX User Manual

Stair Generator

The Stair Generator is basically a globally running LFO. It has only two
controls, the lower one is setting the speed at which it proceeds from one
step of the stair waveform to the next.
The upper parameter defines how many
levels the stair is made of, and thus how
long it takes for a complete cycle. As you
can see from the below examples, there is
a fixed correlation between the amount of
levels and the length of a complete cycle:
The possible amount of levels goes way further up and finally produces a
more and more almost triangular-looking waveform; at the maximum
setting the waveform is hard to be perceived as steps anymore, depending
on the kind of modulation the Stair Gen is used for.
LinPlug MorphoX 1.0
This is the simplest stair, made of 2 levels which
makes a 2 step cycle. In MorphoX it is named 2-2.
This stair has 3 levels, the floor, one in the middle
and the highest. It takes 4 steps to complete one
cycle. Its named 3-4
This is the 4-6 as it consists of 4 levels and takes 6
steps.
The last example is the 5-8, you guess it: it has 5
levels and takes 8 steps, so at a speed of 1/16
takes 8*1/16 th = half a note to complete.
