Bass Cut only has an effect if the Cutoff in the Bass Section (see below) is set low enough to leave
room for the modulation to be audible. You can hear this relationship for yourself by turning Bass Cut
all the way up and playing with the Cutoff.
By default, Vibrato, Tremolo, and Bass Cut all change from 0 to their programmed values by
moving the Mod wheel. However, if you'd prefer to set any of these parameters to a constant
value that's independent of the Mod wheel, just turn the
Mod Amt
knob (next to the Pitch
Bend and Mod wheels) down to 0.
Note that the Mod Amt knob sets the Mod wheel's effect on all three types of LFO modulation at once.
If you turn it down to 0, the Mod wheel won't affect anything at all. However, you can independently
map Vibrato, Tremolo, and/or Bass Cut to their own MIDI controllers using
.
Delay
: This knob controls how long it takes between pressing a key and having the
modulation start to work. Its range is from 0.00 to 3000ms (3 seconds).
Fade
: This knob controls a gradual increase in modulation strength from 0 to the
programmed level over a time range from 0.00 to 3000ms.
Use these knobs in combination to produce the desired effect of gradually increasing modulation.
Experiment with their interactions so their behavior works as you think it should. When in doubt, start
by setting Delay and Fade to the same time.
Retrig
: This switch determines whether the LFO "runs free," cycling without regard to
pressing keys, or if the LFO
retriggers (starts its waveform cycle over again) every time a
key is pressed.
To hear this effect, set up something obvious-sounding like a very strong Tremolo using a Square
waveform. If you play keys at random, you'll hear the LFO in a different part of its cycle with every
keypress. With Retrig on, you'll hear quite clearly how the LFO starts over with every keypress.
Note that Retrig is tied to the first note played and held; if you play other notes without releasing the
first one, they will follow the same LFO cycle as the first note held. Retrig won't work until you release
all of the keys and then play a new one.
Sync
: Locks the LFO to the master MIDI clock, which puts it in sync with any other Solina V
effects that also have their Sync parameters enabled.
There's a lot going on here! These controls are as full-featured as the ones on many analog
synths' LFO sections, and they add a lot of power to Solina V, letting you step beyond basic
string machine effects in many ways.
