CHAPTER 23. LIVE INSTRUMENT REFERENCE 366
Analog's two LFOs can be used as modulation sources for the oscillators, lters and ampli-
ers. As with the other sections, each LFO has independent parameters.
The LFO 1 and LFO 2 switches in the shell toggle the respective LFO on and off, while the
Rate knob sets the LFO's speed. The switch next to this knob toggles the Rate between
frequency in Hertz and tempo-synced beat divisions.
The Wave chooser in the display selects the waveform for the LFO. The choices are sine,
triangle, rectangle and two types of noise. The rst noise type steps between random values
while the second uses smooth ramps. With Tri or Rect selected, the Width slider allows you
to adjust the pulse width of the waveform. With Tri selected, low Width values shift the
waveform towards an upwards sawtooth, while higher values result in a downward saw. At
50%, the waveform is a perfect triangle. The behavior is similar with the Rect setting. At
50%, the waveform is a perfect square wave, while lower and higher values result in negative
or positive pulses, respectively. Note that Width is disabled when the LFO's waveform is set
to sine or the noise modes.
The Delay slider sets how long it will take for the LFO to start after the note begins, while
Rate sets how long it takes the LFO to reach its full amplitude.
With Retrig enabled, the LFO restarts at the same position in its phase each time a note is
triggered. The Offset slider adjusts the phase of the LFO's wavefor m.

Parameters for the
Global Options.
The Global shell and display parameters adjust how Analog responds to MIDI data, as well
as controls for performance parameters such as vibrato and glide.
