Frequently Asked Questions
It's a bit more basic – lacks some of the advanced shaping and finer control of higher-end modules, but delivers a very functional, clean signal.
It's a voltage-controlled reset; a positive voltage will reset the LFO's cycle.
Yes, the square wave can exhibit some aliasing at higher frequencies; try filtering or using a different waveform for cleaner results.
