TIP: LFO CV modulating DLFO

In normal operation, the [S+Pedal_In] knob let's you modulate the speed or amplitude of the DLFO with an Expression Pedal or External CV. ....but, when you physically connect CV OUT1 (on the back of The River) with CV IN, you can use the Riverkey LFO CV to modulate the DLFO!

For it to work, you'll need to:
- connect CV OUT1 to CV IN with a patch cable
- turn the LFO CV to Active (LFO Setup on the Riverkey screen)
- choose LFO CV Shape (other than 0)
- set LFO CV Level to 100

this is important: after you've done the LFO setup, you'll have to perform the controller calibration routine.
(see Chapter 9. in the manual -- Calibration of the physical controllers)

Now, you can use the [S+PEDAL IN] knob to modulate either the amplitude and/or frequency of DLFO (depending on the position of the [AMP/RATE] knob)

P.S. A question to Laurent:
What voltage range is supported by the CV IN?
Can it handle the full +/- 10V output from LFO CV?

an additional tip:
it's also possible to control the speed or volume of the LFO CV with the mod wheel. However for now, this requires creating a Riverkey profile on a PC.
Since we don't have an analog knob for the LFO CV, the mod wheel is a comfortable option.
