Frequently Asked Questions
It essentially 'locks' the LFO position, creating sustained, warped modulation – perfect for drone-like textures or bizarre, evolving swells. It's not a loop, but a frozen modulation pattern.
While versatile, its complexity makes it more challenging for immediate live use; dialing in sounds quickly requires practice and understanding of the interactions between controls.
It outputs the modulation signal as a CV (control voltage) – you can connect it to other synths, effects, or anything that accepts a control voltage signal to modulate its parameters.
