What does the "Hz to Freq" Module inside a LFO do?

Hi!
What exactly is the purpose of this module?
Divide the frequency from the knob (0-2 Hz) by the samplerate, then multiply it by 2?
I mean it works and I can hear/see the difference to feeding the multi OSC with a 0 - 2 Value directly from the speed-knob, but why is that so?
Could someone please explain this to me?
Thanks once again!

The internal workings of SynthMaker use a 0-1 frequency range instead of the Hz values most people would be familiar with. So for high-level-only users this is hidden inside modules and converted back to this system.
A frequency value of 1, in this internal system, is the Nyquist frequency or 1/2 the sample rate. It's the highest frequency supported within the sample rate.
On an LFO the Hz value is going to be very low, but since it's still using the stock oscilators it needs to be converted from Hz into 0-1 range before it will work.
I hope that helps...

Hey!
Edit:
Nevermind!!!
I got confused because of the wrong reasons. I thought there was a difference between this module and the "Hz to 0..1" Module, but there isn'´t. That module is just not used because it needs stream input and here the frequency is already a float...
I'm stupid, sorry!
Thanks for your help!

I personally rip out all those Hz from/to 0..1 modules.
