Decoding the unhelpful numbers...

Decoding the unhelpful numbers...

2003-05-08 by amos luyk

Hello again,

Has anyone worked out (or have Elektron revealed) the meaning of the numbers 
on the LFO speed knob? There does seem to be a logic to it, but I havn't had 
time to work it out. In fact there are quite a few knobs that are a bit 
cryptic (eq and filter frequencies etc..) and I think it would be nice to 
have some form of conversion chart.

Thinking happy thoughts
Amos

As far as I know (someone posted here long time ago) LFO speeds 0-63
are synchronized to the tempo of the MD. 64-127 are faster, with no
tempo sync.  Speeds of 1/2/4/8/16/32/64 are the one who are equivalent
to bars/beats/16ths and such (I do not find the right words here, my
excuse is being Swedish :).
