Elements: DS-LFO
Welcome!
Thank you for purchasing Elements: DS-LFO.
Featuring dual stereo LFOs from our popular multiband series, DS-LFO is a powerful stereo
control signal generator, which integrates seamlessly into our Elements modular series.
Used either as a standalone device or as part of a modular/multiband setup, S-Delay is an
exceptional creative tool for sound designers and musicians alike.
Typical applications include: Classic modulation effects; stereo CV modulation effects
(exclusively with Elements devices); organic, evolving parameter drifts; frantic, frenetic chaos.
We hope you have as much fun using it as we did creating it. Enjoy!
About Elements
Elements is a series of mini devices derived from our Triad Multiband series. They have been
carefully crafted to isolate and enhance specific “elements” of Triad, and integrate together
modularly, through stereo CV modulation and slick, unified design.
Currently available Elements: Chorus, Distort, DS-LFO, Filter, Lo-Fi, Phaser, S-Delay, Splitter

Loading and saving patches
Loading and saving patches in S-Delay is done in the same way as with any other Reason
device. See “Loading patches” and “Saving patches” in the Reason Operation Manual for
further information.

LFO 1 & 2!
DS-LFO features two stereo LFOs whose individual or combined CV output can be assigned
to modulate any parameters of any other Reason device, provided those parameters have a
CV input on the back of said device. This LFO device was designed specifically to work in
tandem with other devices in our Elements series of plugins, as many of their parameters can
have their left and right channels affected separately via stereo CV modulation.
With built-in Phase, Spin and Offset controls, a wide range of different LFO shapes is
possible.
Shape — Selects the waveform type for the modulation LFO. The available waveforms are
Sine, Triangle, Square, Saw, Inverse Saw, Cross-Saw (a saw on the left channel and an

inverse saw on the right) and Inverse Cross-Saw (an inverse saw on the left and a regular saw
on the right).
Freq — Controls the frequency of the LFO. Values range from 0.05Hz to 15Hz (unsynced),
and 1/32 to 8/1 (synced).!
Offset — Offsets the phase of both the left and right LFO in unison. For example, with Offset
and Phase set to 0, a square LFO synced to 1/4 will be up on the kick and down on the
snare. With Offset set to 180 and Phase set to 0, it will be down on the kick and up on the
snare. And with Offset set to 0 and Phase set to 180, the LFO on the left channel will be up
on the kick and down on the snare, while the LFO on the right channel will be down on the
kick and up on the snare. By playing with Phase and Offset it is possible to create a
comprehensive range of detailed rhythmic effects.
Sync — Syncs the LFO to the song’s tempo.
Mode — Toggles between Phase and Spin modes.
GLOBAL
Mix 1+2 — Controls the mix of the two LFOs for the 1+2 CV outputs on the rear panel.
Amp — Master control for the level all CV outputs.

Modulation In — CV modulation in DS-LFO works the same way as for any stock Reason
device. The parameters that can be modulated via CV are:
The Freq, Phase/Spin and Offset parameters in each LFO section and the 1+2 Mix and Amp
parameters in the Global section.
Modulation Out) — Each LFO has two separate pairs of stereo outputs, labelled ‘L/R A’ and
‘L/R B’ respectively. The output of each pair is identical. In addition, there are two ‘1+2’ pairs
of stereo outputs, which output a mix of both LFOs. The exact mix of each is defined by the
1+2 Mix knob on the front panel.
