Why are lfo speeds and depths both bi-polar?

Yup - sounds opening line for a joke - pls supply punchline serious or funny - your choice hombres…

cus they from Sweden. ducks

good answer - I’ll class that as a ‘funny’ punchline - I suspect you may know the serious answer - is it a bug? By design?

Bipolar speed means reverse (backwards) waves, bipolar depth means inverse (upside down) waves. Not the same thing.

there are two monopolar lfo shapes, so you can do a bit of adding or subtracting with those courtesy of the +/- depth settings - on the OT you have to switch waves

you’re right to think a backwards tri with plus or minus depth X is on the face of it no different to a forwards one (with a bit of phase)

the lfo suite is mighty tasty on flexibility
