LFO sync

How do I sync an LFO to midi clock? I have read about it in the manual, but it just doesnt seem clear to me. Can someone elaborate please?

You can not actually sync but restart the LFO per MIDI-clock. So you have to find the rate that comes closest to your BPM (you may use a square wave LFO for that purpose), so not a perfect BPM-match due to E-mu's coarse resolution.

It is possible to make the midi clocks in the chords section behave like lfos, and you have the advantage that these modulation sources will sync to your projects tempo.
If you patch the clock to a Lag processor you can smooth out the clocks square wave step and turn the modulation into a smooth sweep.
Go the the Lfo page and change the lag time for a faster or slower sweep, and choose a clock source that best suits your needs.
This is great for panning - pitch - volume and filter sweeps.
Try patching the clock to a lag - then the lag to pitch (set at 37) to get octave pitch glides. Also add a second clock/lag to filter and then play with the clock rates and lag rates of both sources.
Re-sample the results and create a library of warped out wobbles then sequence a bunch of them.
Hours of fun can be had :grin:
