Most of the waveform packs on that page are meant to be used as pure waveforms, in either triple osc or LFO's. They produce some very cool sounds, in case you're bored with the regular waveforms in triple osc. They may cause some aliasing but it can be handled with eq/filters. Basically, they turn the triple osc into a wavetable synth. The LFO-trancegate waveforms are a bit different, though. They turn the LFO into a trancegate, which is a type of step sequencer. You load up eg. lfo_trancegate_quarter to the LFO controller, sync the speed to a quarter note, then connect the LFO to an instrument, eg. to a volume knob, filter cutoff, osc volume, whatever you want. Then it produces a sort of rhytmic gate, rapidly switching the volume (or cutoff, etc) on/off in sync with the tempo. These kinds of gates are often used in trance music, hence the name "trancegate". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WatchGuard Dimension instantly turns raw network data into actionable security intelligence.
