Hi,

I'm wondering why the "amount" parameter in the Frequency Shifter LFO section (i.e. the uppermost lefthand knob) displays the value as Hz.

According to the manual "The extent of LFO influence on the frequency is set with the Amount control." so surely it should be % or dB or something similar, but not Hz.

Right?

The LFO amount determines by how many Hertz the LFO shifts the frequency. An example: The Coarse and Fine Frequency controls are at 0 Hz, LFO shape is a sine wave, LFO amount is 100 Hz. In this case, the incoming audio signal gets shifted by +100 Hz / -100 Hz at any time the LFO reaches its positive / negative amplitude. If the original input signal is a 440 Hz sine wave, the resulting sound rises and falls between 340 and 540 Hz.

Best,
Nico

Ah, understood. Thanks! Case closed...
