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
