Use ES2 LFOs
The ES2 LFO’s can be used to create delayed modulations, free modulations, and modulations
that are synchronized with your host application.
Set the LFO 1 modulation fade time
mm
To fade in the modulation: Set a positive LFO 1 EG value.
The higher the value, the longer the delay time.
mm
To fade out the modulation: Set a negative LFO 1 EG value.
The lower the slider is positioned onscreen, the shorter the fade out time.
Set up a delayed vibrato
LFO envelopes are most often used for delayed vibrato—many instrumentalists and singers
intonate longer notes this way.
1 Place the LFO 1 EG slider at a position in the upper half (Delay) and modulate the Pitch123 target
with the LFO1 source in the router.
2 Set a slight modulation intensity.
3 Set an LFO 1 Rate of about 5 Hz.
4 Choose the triangular wave as the LFO 1 waveform.
Set a free rate for LFO 2
mm
Choose a value in the upper half of the LFO 2 Rate slider range to run LFO 2 freely.
The rate is displayed in hertz.
Synchronize the LFO 2 rate with the song tempo
mm
Choose a value in the lower half of the LFO 2 Rate slider range to synchronize LFO 2 with the
host application tempo.
The rate is displayed in rhythmic values (when project tempo synchronization is active).
Synchronized rates range from speeds of 1/64-notes to a periodic duration of 32 bars. Triplet and
punctuated values are also available.
