LFO 2 tremolo chop
Square LFO 2 on amp level — gated tremolo that turns pads into rhythmic pulses.

Why it works
Tremolo is the fastest way to make a static pad interact with tempo without touching the arpeggiator.
Negative LFO amount inverts the chop — useful for syncopated gaps.

Questions
- LFO 1 vs LFO 2 default wiring?
- LFO 1 → filters; LFO 2 → amp (p. 54, 57). Either can be reassigned in the matrix.
