Frequently Asked Questions
It's a simplified LFO – good for basic modulation, but lacks the advanced features like multiple waveforms or complex routing found in dedicated modules.
It's genuinely useful; it provides a substantial change in timbre, particularly with the sawtooth waveform, allowing for harsher, more complex sounds.
Like most analog oscillators, some aliasing is present at the upper end of the range, but it's generally well-behaved and can be creatively utilized.
