LFO 1 provides a simple envelope generator (EG) that sets the time it takes for the LFO modulation to fade in or fade out. At its center position (click the middle mark) the modulation intensity is static—no fade-in or fade-out occurs.
To fade in the modulation: Drag the LFO 1 EG knob to a positive value.
The higher the value, the longer the delay time.
To fade out the modulation: Drag the LFO 1 EG knob to a negative value.
The lower the value, the shorter the fade-out time.
LFO envelopes are most often used for delayed vibrato; many instrumentalists and singers intonate longer notes this way.
Drag the LFO 1 EG knob to a position toward the right (Delay), and modulate the Pitch destination using the LFO1 source in the router.
Set a slight modulation intensity.
Select an LFO 1 Rate of about 5 Hz.
Click the triangular Wave button as the LFO 1 waveform.
Tip: Chaotic and fast modulations of frequencies (choose Pitch from the Destination pop-up menu) by the LFO 1 source—with a delayed Sample & Hold waveform, a high Rate, and short fade-out—are ideal for emulating the attack phase of brass instruments.
