The LFO Node is a typical low-frequency oscillator, most commonly used to automate the parameters of other Nodes.
Inputs
Frequency-Control Input
A Control input to automate the Frequency setting, in Hz, from 0+ Hz to the Nyquist frequency. This input can be toggled from the Node settings panel.
Settings
Frequency
LFO frequency, in Hz.
Start phase
Sets oscillator initial phase shift, as a percentage. Maximum value is 100%, which means a whole period of offset.
Output min
Minimum value of the output periodic wave.
Output max
Maximum value of the output periodic wave.
Wave type
Sets the oscillator’s wave type, well-known ones like sine, sawtooth, square, triangle are available.
Sync mode
Configures if and how the LFO’s phase should be reset:
- None — no reset, the LFO is fully free-running at all times
- Hard-Sync (input) — reset phase based on an input signal: every time the input signal increases above 0 (while it was 0 or lower previously), the LFO phase is reset
- MIDI (input) — reset phase based on input MIDI notes: each note resets the LFO phase
- Global play — reset phase when playback is started
Outputs
Control Output
LFO wave’s current value as it flows.
Technical Details
Unlike the Oscillator Node, the LFO Node produces mathematically accurate sine, triangle, sawtooth, and square waves.
