Ports and connections

Port / IDTypeConnection
RateratenumberControls Rate with a number stream. Without a wire, the manual value is 1 Hz.Manual value when disconnected

OffsetoffsetnumberControls Offset with a number stream. Without a wire, the manual value is 0.Manual value when disconnected

OutputoutnumberThe number result of LFO, available to other nodes on every sample.Output

An output can feed multiple inputs of the same type. An input has one source; Function also requires matching signatures. All connection rules →

Parameters

Values describe manual settings. A connected stream replaces a parameter’s manual value; disconnecting restores it.

How to use it

For Gentle Tremolo: Rate = 1.8 Hz, Amount = 0.5, Offset = 0.5. Connect the 0…1 output to Gain / Gain.

Things to check

Amount is amplitude; Offset is the DC offset. A rising Reset Gate restarts phase. Shape, Clock and Cycle length are static settings.

Check required inputs and matching types. Run Compile before auditioning; a validation failure preserves the previous working module. Troubleshooting →
