A looping number. Patch it onto a pot.
Lfo is a looping CV modulator, 0–99. Rate and depth take CV. Run takes a Switch. Value out rides tempo, mix, pan, or pitch. Gate out pulses with the wave.
What it is
A looping CV. Value out is 0–99. Rate in and depth in (Amt) take CV. Run in takes a hold gate — Switch or Latch. Gate out pulses with the wave. Wider adds wave, amount, and bias. Default wave is sine. This is not Mod — Mod sits still until you turn it. It is not Hold — Hold freezes a CV on a pulse.
How to use it
Drop Lfo. Patch value into BeatPad.tempo, Keys.pitch or vol, Effect.mix, Pan.pan, or Marquee.rate. A Switch on Run holds it moving. A Knob on rate winds it. Hold.cv on the Lfo freezes a moment of the wave.
What to patch next
Lfo.value → Pan.pan is auto-pan. Lfo.value → BeatPad.tempo breathes the loop. Switch.value → Lfo.run holds it on. Hold if you want to freeze a value from the wave.

Questions
- What range does it send?
- 0–99, same desk CV as Knob and Slider.
- Why did it stop?
- Run is patched and low. Flip the Switch, or unpatch Run to let it free-run.
- Is gate out a clock?
- It pulses with the wave. Metronome is the musical tick if you want bars.
