  1. Low-frequency oscillation (LFO) is an electronic frequency that is usually below 20 Hz and creates a rhythmic pulse or sweep. This is used to modulate musical equipment such as synthesizers to create audio effects such as vibrato , tremolo and phasing .

  2. Sep 21, 2023 · So what is a LFO? It’s a waveform generator that operates at such a low frequency that it’s inaudible to humans. Instead of producing audible tones, an LFO generates a continuous, low-frequency wave, usually in the 0.1 Hz to 20 Hz range (or even lower). LFOs are fundamental to synthesis and electronic music production.

  3. Nov 21, 2023 · Low-Frequency Oscillator. Posted 21 november 2023. Updated 21 november 2023. By Melvin Rijlaarsdam. Every synthesizer has an oscillator, also known as a tone generator. It produces an audible tone with a steady pitch that can be played with a keyboard. On most synths, you’ll also find so-called ‘Low-Frequency Oscillators’.

  4. Sep 22, 2023 · LFOs, or low frequency oscillators, are used in synthesizers for modulation – changing the pitch, filter cutoff, volume, and other parameters that affect the sound.

  5. Jul 27, 2020 · What is a LFO? The letters LFO stand for “Low Frequency Oscillator”. This means that it is an oscillator, but not an oscillator that works like the rest you have in your synthesizer. The oscillator of an LFO is of low frequency, usually below 20HZ – and therefore out of the range of human listening.

  6. Jul 17, 2023 · An LFO is an oscillator that vibrates at a frequency too low for human hearing. The signal that it produces can be used to modulate (change) parameters in a synth or effect, causing them to change over time.

  7. Aug 1, 2021 · A Low-Frequency Oscillator (LFO) is a fundamental component of synthesizers and audio effects processors that creates a periodic low-frequency oscillation at low frequencies, usually below 20 Hz.
