Can anyone help with digital LFO settings? As is, midi notes retrigger the LFO and I want the LFO to not retrigger, but just sync to midi clock (or freerun on internal clock even when the midi module is receiving midi clock). Unfortunately it looks like these options are not possible, but I’d love to be proven wrong. This is all the manual says:

The active clock source can be the internal clock, external midi clock, or external gate clock. The
digital lfo waveforms are positive voltage only and are centered around 5v.

I’m pretty sure the digital LFO is triggered by the incoming midi notes, regardless of clock source. Thats what it sounds like to me anyway.

Alternate option, use an external midi LFO.
I have been using an octatrack LFO to modulate velocity, then taking the SV1 velocity output into VCO2 FM CV in.

On detuned saw waves it creates a sort of swarm or unison kind of sound. Just a touch mind.

Yeah, don’t see anyway this behaviour can be changed. Indeed, velocity and CC outs from the midi module allow for 2 OT lfos as mod sources.

Despite a couple of shortcomings/ limitations - SV-1 is a keeper for me.

I fully agree
You can do so much with it just with that and a pedal
