I'm new here so hi to you all and greetings from Finland.

First of course: Thank you Moog for a great synth!

Second: Which LFO frequency range is correct: 0.2-500 Hz (as in manual, page 17) or 0.2-50 Hz (as in manual, page 57/Specifications)?

Third: Can someone here answer whether LP's LFO is true analog (meaning that there is an analog oscillator producing the waveform), or is the LFO digital cirquit that produces values which are then converted to control voltages?

Thanks

Meaning it's digital? (analog vs. analogue).

Thanks

The LFO in the LP is digitally-generated at a high resolution... the max LFO speed is definitely more like 500Hz than 50Hz.

Thanks for the info.

They're the same thing, just different spellings.

didnt know the lfo was digital, not that it makes the slightest bit of difference. Its sounds a bit nicer than the voyagers to me!

Does this mean you can lock the lfo to midi clock??

Unfortunately, no.
But Amos promised earlier that it is included in a future release!

Sorry, not my native lanquage. What is the word for "analog like" then? I mean for example a soft synth modelling a Moog? You can't call it analog. I have allways though that analogue refers to "analog like" equipment. :shock: :D

There is no word for "analog like". Digital synths which emulate analog synthesizers are called virtual analog. As far as analog vs. analogue, it's similar to flavor vs. flavour and color vs. colour. Same words, different spellings.

Isn't it British English (analogue) vs. American English (analog)?

Thank you for clearing up this for me.
