Use ES2 LFOs in Logic Pro for iPad
ES2 LFOs can be used to create delayed modulations, free modulations, and modulations that are synchronized with the Logic Pro tempo.
Tap the Mod Sources button to view and adjust these ES2 parameters.

Set the LFO 1 modulation speed up or slow down time in ES2
In Logic Pro, set a positive LFO 1 EG delay to speed up the modulation rate from zero to its set value.
The higher the value, the longer it takes to reach set modulation rate.
Set a negative LFO 1 EG delay value to slow down the modulation rate from its set value to zero.
The lower the slider is positioned onscreen, the longer it takes to reach the zero value for the modulation rate.
Set up a delayed vibrato in ES2
LFO envelopes are most often used for delayed vibrato—many instrumentalists and singers intonate longer notes this way.
In Logic Pro, in the Mod Sources view, set the LFO 1 EG delay slider to a position in the upper half (Delay).
Set an LFO 1 Rate of about 5 Hz.
Choose the triangular wave as the LFO 1 waveform.
Tap the Mod Matrix button, and in the Slot 1 section, select LFO 1 from the Source pop-up menu and Pitch123 from the Target pop-up menu to modulate the oscilator pitch with the LFO 1.

Set a slight modulation intensity with the Amount slider.
Set a free rate for LFO 2 in ES2
In Logic Pro, choose a value in the upper half of the LFO 2 Rate range to run LFO 2 freely.
The rate is displayed in hertz.
Synchronize the ES2 LFO 2 rate with the song tempo
In Logic Pro, choose a value to the left of the LFO 2 Rate center position to synchronize LFO 2 with the project tempo.
The rate is displayed in rhythmic values (when project tempo synchronization is active).
Synchronized rates range from speeds of 1/64-notes to a periodic duration of 32 bars. Triplet and punctuated values are also available.
