8 "LFO" means Low Frequency Oscillator.
9 These oscillators are not used to make sounds by themselves, but they changes
10 some parameters (like the frequencies, the amplitudes or the filters).
12 The LFOs have some basic parameters:
14 * *Delay*: This parameter sets how much time takes since the start of the
15 note to the start of the LFO
16 * *Start Phase*: The position that a LFO will start at
17 * *Frequency*: How fast the LFO is (i.e. how fast the parameter's controlled by
19 * *Depth*: The amplitude of the LFO (i.e. how much the parameter's controlled

24 Another important LFO parameter is the shape.
25 There are many LFO Types according to the shape.
26 ZynAddSubFX supports the following LFO shapes:

30 Another parameter is the LFO Randomness.
31 It modifies the LFO amplitude or the LFO frequency at random.
32 In ZynAddSubFX you can choose how much the LFO frequency or LFO amplitude
33 changes by this parameter.
34 In the following images are shown some examples of randomness and how changes
35 the shape of a triangle LFO.

41 * *Continuous mode*: If this mode is used, the LFO will not start from "zero" on each new note, but it will be continuous. This is very useful if you apply on filters to make interesting sweeps.
42 * *Stretch*: It controls how much the LFO frequency changes according to the
44 It can vary from negative stretch (the LFO frequency is decreased on higher
45 notes) to zero (the LFO frequency will be the same on all notes) to positive
46 stretch (the LFO frequency will be increased on higher notes).
51 In ZynAddSubFX, LFO parameters are shown as:
53 image:images/uilfo.jpg[]
57 * *Freq*: LFO Frequency
59 * *Start*: LFO Start Phase -
60 If this knob is at the lowest value, the LFO Start Phase will be random.
62 * *A.R.*: LFO Amplitude Randomness
63 * *F.R.*: LFO Frequency Randomness
64 * *C.*: LFO Continuous Mode
65 * *Str.*: LFO Stretch - in the image above the LFO stretch is set to zero
