3.4.2. Add vibrato with VCO 2
There's a quick way to add vibrato without using the patch bay, and in the process we'll
learn a little more about VCO 2.
It's simple to set this up. Starting from the previous example [p.13] :
• Unplug the patch cable
• Switch VCO 2 Range to LFO
Now play a pad and slowly raise the VCO 1 FM knob — this will add some vibrato to the
sound.
Still holding the pad, turn the VCO 2 Tune knob clockwise to raise the LFO speed. You'll hear
the rate of the vibrato increase.

♪ : The modulation happens without using patch cables because there is a pre-wired connection
between VCO 1 and VCO 2. This is what is meant by the blue letters under the VCO 1 FM knob that
say "VCO 2". To learn more about these pre-wired connections, see the first note (
♪
) in the VCO 1 [p.30]
section of the Top Panel [p.28] chapter.
♪
: Since VCO2 tracks the pitch of VCO 1 by default, which in turn
tracks the transposition range of the pads by default, the LFO rate will increase or decrease as you
change the octave range of the pads. If you want the frequency of VCO 2 to be consistent across the
entire range of the pads, plug only one side of a patch cable into the Pitch 2 input jack in the patch bay.
See the
Patch Bay [p.58] chapter to learn more.
