Sound Parameters – Low Frequency Oscillators (LFOs)113 Waldorf Q User’s Manual• TheSawtooth shape can generate interesting filter or volume changes. If you need amodulation with inverted slope, just apply the Sawtooth shape with negative amount.• TheRandom shape generates random values and glides to them linearly.•S&H (Sample & Hold) samples a random value and holds it until the next value isgenerated. If Speed is set to0, a random value is generated on each new note.Speed0…127 or 256 bars…1/96Determines the frequency of the LFO signal. On low values, it might take several minutes until theLFO performs a complete cycle while higher values are in the audible range. Very high values arescaled in semitone steps. With LFO Keytrack set to100%, a Speed setting of122 delivers an 8’ LFOoscillation. 16’ oscillation can therefore be generated with a Speed setting of110 and so on.When the LFO Clocked parameter is set toOn, you can adjust the LFO Speed in musical values. Thelowest possible value is256 bars, meaning that a complete LFO cycle would need 256 bars.SyncOff, OnWhen Sync is set to On, the respective LFO phases of all voices are synced so that they sound as oneLFO. This can be interesting when the LFO is applied to modulate Filter Cutoff or Panning.When Sync is set toOff, the LFOs run independently which is better suited for pitch modulation toget bigger sounds.w Sync does not mean that the LFO is synced to MIDI Clock or to note start. This is done with theClocked parameter or the Phase parameter.Delay0…127The Delay parameter works differently depending on the setting of the Fade parameter in the LFOdisplay menu:• When Fade is set to+00…+63, the LFO signal output is zero for the time set with theDelay parameter. After this time, the LFO is faded in and then runs with full magnitude.• When Fade is set to–64…-01, the LFO runs with full magnitude for the time set with theDelay parameter. After this time, the LFO is faded out to zero.LFO Edit MenuThe following parameters can be accessed via the display menu. Press the LFO section’s Edit buttonto activate the display menu.Keytrack-200%...+196%Determines how much the speed of the LFO depends on the MIDI note number. The reference notefor Keytrack is E3, note number 64. For positive settings, the LFO speeds up on notes above thereference note, for negative settings the LFO slows down when higher notes are played and viceversa. A setting of +100% corresponds to a 1:1 scale, e.g. when an octave up is played on thekeyboard the LFO speed is doubled. |
