Not mine

Well found, then 
Seriously cool though
I just bought an MK1 in very good condition for 500 € and received it a couple of days ago. I’m as happy and excited as a 7 year old on Christmas day… Now, I’ve got the manual in one hand, the A4 in the other, you guys on the computer. I’m hard at work so please, keep the noise down, will you?

New A4 Mk1 user here too with a question. How do I get the LFO to lower the OSC pitch? If I target the OSC1 Pitch Mod or Freq Mod I can get the A4 to start at a higher pitch and then lower it to the actual note. But how do I get it to start at the actual note and then drop from there?
LFO modulation is bipolar, you should be able to send negative depth to pitch from the LFO page.

Sadly the negative Option results in the Pitch starting at lower-than-original Frequency and then rising to the original Pitch.
If you combine this with the matching phase offset (180°, I don’t know which value this corresponds to), you should be able to get the desired behavior, I believe.

Have you tried a reversed ramp set to one shot mode?

If you just want a single sweep from the initial note to the repitched state, either use an LFO (set to the RMP shape, HLF trigger) which will give you a one-shot sweep, or use the User Env with a slow Attack (a bit more flexible as the Sustain acts as your final note, which can also be modulated).
@LyingDalai has the real solution below

Use the pitch offset in the OSC menu to adjust to your LFO setting. Or use transpose.

I’ve been playing around with Neighbour Tracks these days. Turns out these make the A4 an ideal machine for soundscape-ish drones.

This is awesome. Neighbor tracks are one of the features I haven’t really delved into. Your track makes me think it’s time!

Thanks! I’m really just starting to scratch the surface here. It’s an awesome feature and there’s a lot to explore…

I never used neighbor tracks in 7 years of owning the A4

Me neither, and I’ve had mine for nine years… and must amend this omission before much longer.

I didn’t even know about Neighbor tracks and I’ve owned the A4 for at least 2 weeks…

I have had mine a few weeks and accidentally happened upon it by Randomizing
Whenever I get new gear I randomize the shit out of absolutely everything to just see where it goes. lol Learn a lot doing this too

Also very cool: the feedback (FDB) setting for oscillator 1. And using an external source for, say, track 1, then a neighbor oscillator on track 2 can get pretty bonkers.
