The LFO features six waveform shapes (Sine, Triangle, Square, Ramp, Sawtooth, and Random Staircase). Controls include LFO Rate, LFO Amount, Delay Time, and a bipolar Feedback knob that highlights even or odd harmonics. Tap tempo via footswitch. Stereo outputs. CV and expression inputs for Feedback, Time, Rate, Mix, and LFO Amount. Reviewed by Synth Anatomy and ranzee.com as a modulation powerhouse.
