LFO DESIGNER

LFO History
Since the invention of the first synthesizer Low Frequency Oscillators (LFO's), have been used to add natural and violent Modulation effects to sounds. A typical use for an LFO is to emulate natural vibrato and tremolo by Modulating Pitch or Volume. Analogue and early Digital synth's only had access to several LFO Shapes (Sin, Square, Triangle, Saw and Random), becoming the norm. On most synth's LFO Depth, and on some Time can be adjusted with MIDI Controllers. With newer synth's LFO Shapes can be used to Modulate the Depth or Time of another.

The Space Station
Up to six different LFO Shapes can be used per Instrument, these Shapes can be one of the default's or Loaded from the library supplied. Shapes can be used to Modulate Waves or other LFO's Depth or Time. MIDI Controllers, Poly Pressure, After Touch or Pitch Bend can be used to control LFO Depth and Time. Shapes can be synced to Real Time or MIDI, and display their current Depth and Time positions's. Shapes can be Modelled in real Time using a range of specially designed Tools within two different Modes (Free Hand or Node), using the LFO Designer. All Designed Shapes can be saved to Disk.
