CV - LFO & Modulation

Modulation sources that generate control voltage signals.

LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator)

The primary modulation source in MNodes.

LFO

ParameterRangeDefaultDescription
ModeFree / SyncFreeFree-running or synced to tempo
TransportInternal / HostHostClock source for sync mode
BPMbpmManual tempo (when using internal transport)
Frequency0.01 - 50 HzModulation speed (free mode)
CycleChoiceNote subdivision (sync mode)
WaveformChoiceSineLFO shape (16 types, see below)
Phase0 - 3600Phase offset
PhaseShiftAdditional phase shift
ResetEventReset phase to zero

Outputs: CV value, Phase position
