Yes, but I discovered a bug when I first did this. Using LFOs on 
ceratin parameters (primarily filter and EQ, but also pan and volume 
sometimes) creates a "scraping" noise. It sounds like digital shit. 
Anyone else had this problem? The Elektron guys are trying to fix it. 
There will be a software update soon, and another one soon after that 
again.

what happens if two LFOs modulate the same parameter?

I think they're added, but I haven't tried it. Anyway, that would be 
cool, think of using 16 LFOs on the same parameter of the same track! 
That would allow for some extreme effects!! 
I love the single cycle waveforms on the LFOs as well, which function 
as simple envelope generators. Though ultimately, all LFO waveforms 
should be repeating LFOs, but with a single cycle option. That way, 
all the waveforms could be used as preset envelopes, and the square 
could be used as a gate!
Has anyone tried syncing a square wave LFO to the main tempo in 32nd 
steps, and routed it to volume?
