Note+Tempo
The LFO rate is specified in frac-
tions of a beat (note length) and restarts when-
ever a note is played. Use it to match the modu-
lation to the tempo of a song with a specific
note length.
Beat+Tempo The LFO rate is specified in frac-
tions of a beat (note length) and synchronizes to
the bars and beats of the song while the trans-
port is running. Use this to match the modula-
tion to the tempo and meter of a song.
LFO Parameters
The three LFOs have the following parameters
and functionality:
Wave Selects the shape of the modulation the
LFO produces. Choose one of the following
wave shapes from the Wave pop-up menu:
• Sine—Smooth modulation shape curving up
and down.
• Triangle—Soft modulation shape ramping up
and down. The turning points at the maxi-
mum amplitude of the signal have an edge.
• Sawtooth—Downward ramp modulation
shape. The signal abruptly starts with an edge
at maximum positive amplitude and descends
with a line forming the shape of a downward
ramp.
• Square—Alternating modulation shape trill-
ing up and down.
• S&H—Randomly stepped modulation for
classic sample and hold effects.
• S&H Alternate—Randomly stepped modula-
tion like sample and hold that always alter-
nates between high and low steps.
• Random—Smooth random modulation.
• Drift—Quasi-analog modulation shape that
compares well to variations from electronic
components.
Rate
Specifies the speed of the modulation. The
control range is from 0.03 Hz to 30.00 Hz. De-
pending on the Sync mode rate determines the
speed in fractions of a beat or multiples of step
sequencer steps.
Phase Adjusts the starting angle of the LFO. You
must choose a Sync mode to bring this parame-
ter into effect. The control range is from 0° to
359° plus a Random setting. Choose Random for
a varying starting angle with each restart of the
LFO.
LFO Depth Modulation
Each LFO can be modulated in depth (ampli-
tude) to allow for fade-ins and fade-outs of a
modulation from the LFO. For example, use one
of the Modulation envelopes to shape the LFO
dynamically whenever you play a note. Alterna-
tively, you can use the modulation wheel for
control over the LFO Modulation depth.
To select a modulation source for the LFO depth
„
Click the Depth Mod Source selector and se-
lect a source from the pop-up menu.
To adjust the modulation depth:
1
Click the Modulation Level fader.
2
Change the value.
• To increase the modulation, move the fader
to the right.
– or –
• To decrease the modulation, move the
fader to the left.
