Mod matrix vs direct LFO assignment question

Mod matrix vs direct LFO assignment question
« on: April 20, 2024, 08:56:19 AM »
Hello.

I'm new to synths, so the following bugs me.

I directly assign LFO2 let's say to Cutoff. Then, in the 1st mod matrix slot, I set LFO2 as Source, and LFO1 amount as destination. LFO2 still shows Cutoff as destination (holding Misc and turning the LFO2 destination knob).

What is actually the destination of LFO2?

Could someone explain how is this meant to work or point me to any related documents/topics/posts? Couldn't find it.

Thanks.

You can route a single source (Like LFO2) to many different destinations simultaneously, using the mod matrix.  In the case you describe, LFO2 will modulate both the cutoff and the amount of LFO1.     

There's some information I wrote up a while back in this thread that describes how routing via the LFO vs Mod Matrix may give you different resolution output:
