The RATE knob controls the speed of the LFO’s cycle and has two modes. These modes depend on the state of the LFO Sync button.

  • SYNC OFF – The LFO’s rate is not synchronized with the host tempo and the LFO’s rate is measured in Hz. The rate increases as it is turned clockwise.
  • SYNC ON – The LFO’s rate is synchronized to the host’s tempo. Changing the rate in Sync mode scrolls through different rhythmic value groups — it does not simply get faster as the knob is turned clockwise. Some examples of note values found spread out around the control are:

8x – this value stretches a cycle across eight bars.
1/8 – this value cycles the LFO every eighth note.
1/8 dot – this value cycles the LFO every dotted eighth note.
1/8 triplet – this value cycles the LFO every eighth note triplet
