lfO sECtION
Kamieniec is equipped with an integrated volt-
age controlled low-frequency oscillator, serving
as an onboard modulation source for the phaser.
The LFO generates a triangle waveform within
a wide frequency range, from one cycle per tens
of seconds to audio rate (about 700Hz). The
rate knob
8
and the corresponding lfo rate
voltage input

both control the LFO speed, in-
dicated by the corresponding LED. The depth
knob

determines the depth of modulation by
controlling the amount of LFO voltage supplied
to the phaser frequency parameter in addition
the LFO can also be used independently from the
