The LFO is one of the most powerful and unique tools in a synthesiser. It stands for Low Frequency Oscillator, and it’s a slow waveform that automatically moves a parameter like pitch or filter cutoff up and down. Most synths have at least one LFO, and learning how to use them creatively can help you create more interesting patches with motion and movement.

In this article, we’ll look at some LFO patching ideas using OB-X, a synth with loads of modulation options, including both a front-panel LFO and deeper per-parameter control via X-LFOs. You can apply these ideas to other synths too, which is a great way to learn a new instrument or plugin.
