Hi Again,

I finally have a little time to be more clear on the LFO help post.

I know the M12/Expander is one the few synths to allow a mod source 
to modulate itself. I use this all the time when I want really long 
envelopes. Now, I understand this is common knowledge among the 
Modular Synth Community. However in theory the LFO modulating it's 
own rate should make the LFO rate speed up and slow down right?
But what seems to happen is the rate will increase a small amount and 
stay there(or decrease if mod is negative). I like to experiment with 
LFO triggered envolopes. When I try to get these rates close to a 
Beats Per Minute number I find It's somewhere in between what I need. 
By modulating the LO rate by the same LFO I can usually adjust out 
any error. 
I don't know what led me to this discovery but It works on my M12. I 
can't really say about the Xpander.
