So before we begin, what exactly is LFO?
Low-Frequency Oscillators (LFOs) are a type of signal generator used to create a repeating waveform. They are used to modulate the parameters of other signals such as pitch, volume, or filter cutoff.
LFOs can be used to create tremolo, vibrato, and other effects. They are typically used in synthesizers, samplers, and effects processors. LFOs usually have a frequency range from 0.1 Hz to several hundred Hz.
These VST LFO tools can be controlled through your midi CC.
