Vibrato
A simple free-running sine LFO with one control — rate in Hz — meant as a substitute for true per-note vibrato, since note events have no continuous pitch channel of their own.
What it does
Vibrato is a modulator: it makes a moving value that can drive any control on the canvas. It has no input and gives control signal out, so it starts a chain.
Try it
Patch it into an oscillator's fine-tune modulation input for a subtle, continuous pitch wobble.

Controls
Every control with a range can be driven by a modulator, a note, an audio level or a sketch.

|---|---|---|
| rate | 0.5 to 12 | 5 |
