The reason that they both use 0-256 is because that is the Minimum and
Maximum values For Lfo speeds 1 & 2.

The way to figure it out isn't with one set of numbers, we have at the
moment only 1 choice I think, produce a sine tone at each Lfo setting
then measure the distance of one cycle. As the tables for LFO don't
appear to go in regular steps, it would seem to be the only way to do
it.
