Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Hi all!

I tend to towards using the Tempo sync options of the LFOs.   That 
said, what *musical* relationships have you found to using the tuned 
LFOs?  I've gotten a pretty good feel for tuning the feedback and 
delays in relation to the root Osc notes, but the LFOs are escaping 
me in this respect.  Any suggestions?

basically tuning an lfo is more difficult because delays with feedback
create tones and lfo mostly modulates them. after my friend hacked my
yamaha CS-15 so that the LFO goes well over 1khz, i've slowly gotten
used to tuning it - you have certain "sweet spots" along the frequency
spectrum that just emphasize the correct notes. for pitch modulation
finding the sweet spots is a bit more complex than for amplitude or
filter mod and very much like tuning ring modulators - you get
inharmonic and harmonic frequencies and just stop at the one that
sounds the best.
slow LFO, as found on most machines, is much harder to tune than the
fast ones so at least for me it's the best to start with the fastest
possible LFO (on the standard evolver lfo:s this seems to be roughly
at the middle c) and go down from there.

uh ... right...
