Key Tracking LFO Frequency Cheat Sheet: Values Matching the Oscillator Frequency

[vlzs]

• These are cheat sheets for referencing the LFO Frequency values that establish the octave relationship between the Mai Tai LFO, which is set to Key(Key Tracking), and each oscillator at 2', 4', 8', 16', and 32'.
• When using Key Tracking LFO for AM(Amplitude Modulation), these cheat sheets are handy.
• (The LFO and Oscillator gradually drift out of sync over time because the LFO Frequency value is rounded.)
• 
• 

Setting OSC to -3 semitones aligns the phase of the LFO and Oscillator.

• By setting the oscillator frequency to a simple integer value, the LFO can follow at divisible values.
• However, since the transpose setting differs from other presets, it can be inconvenient when exploring presets.
  • For example, when exploring presets to replace sounds used in a song, you might find a preset with a pitch that's off-key from the song's key.

It seems this would also be useful for basic FM synthesis?
