Description
S & H 1
This produces randomly stepped modulation. The Shape parameter puts
ramps between the steps and changes the S&H into a smooth random
signal when fully turned right.
S & H 2
This is similar to S & H 1. The steps are alternating between random high
and low values. Shape puts ramps between the steps and changes the S &
H into a smooth random signal when fully turned right.
Frequency
This controls the frequency of the modulation, that is to say the "speed" of the LFO.
When Sync Mode is active, the frequency is set in fractions of beats, or number of
steps of the Step Modulator.
Phase
Sets the initial phase of the waveform when the LFO is retriggered.
Rnd (Random)
When this button is activated, each note starts with a randomized start phase. The
Phase control is deactivated.
Sync Mode
You can sync the LFO either to the tempo of the host application or to HALion's Step
Modulator. The behavior of the Frequency parameter depends on the selected option:
Option
Description
Off
Select this to adjust the speed of the modulation in Hertz.
Tempo + Retrig
Select this to adjust the speed of the modulation in fractions of
beats (1/4, 1/8, etc.). You can also set dotted and triplet note
values. The restart behavior of the LFO depends on the Retrigger
setting.
Tempo + Beat
Select this to adjust the speed of the modulation in fractions of
beats. You can also set dotted and triplet note values. The LFO
restarts with the transport of the host and lines up to the beats of
the project. The Retrigger setting is not taken into account.
Retrigger Mode
Determines whether the LFO is restarted when a note is triggered. When Retrigger is
set to First Note or Each Note, the waveform starts at the position specified by the
Phase parameter.
Option
Off
First Note
Each Note
LFO Bypass
To hear the sound without any LFO modulation, click the Bypass button (the speaker
icon) in the title bar of the section. This deactivates all LFOs.

Description
The LFO is running freely.
The LFO restarts when a note is triggered and no other notes
are already held.
The LFO restarts each time a note is triggered.
