Visualizer
The LFO Visualizer shows:
- Current LFO phase and shape
- Rate indication
- Per-voice phase offsets
Tips
- Dimension mode is great for subtle widening without obvious modulation
- Increase Voices for thicker, ensemble-like sounds
- Use Feedback carefully - it can create flanging effects
- Vibrato mode is useful for pitch effects without the dry signal
- Apply High Cut to smooth out harsh modulation artifacts
