I love the DX7 but it's a shame that the maximum LFO frequency is so low. It really hampers the sound design possibilities

  I think I saw somewhere that you can actually tell the LFO is done in software because it actually slows down if you move the sliders a lot while the CPU tries to pay attention to too much at once.

    Yeah it's a shame, on the other chips you can get amazingly air-y textures by setting the LFO to noise and then putting the frequency all the way up. See this video for example: https://youtu.be/_xL3qr-9-ZE https://youtu.be/_xL3qr-9-ZE

      It sounds to me as though a firmware patch should be able to fix that to some extent. The main culprit here is the interrupt service routine, which while tight likely isn't immune to some code golfing.

      Would sacrificing an operator and setting it to constant mode instead of mult work for this? You'd have to use the feedback operator if you wanted something noisy though.

        The operators actually contribute phase, not frequency, and there are very limited ways that they can be routed.
