[ADVANCED-INFO] Use pitch-tracking to

apply a range of AM and FM effects (depend-

ing where the LFO is appled). Offset the pitch-

tracking frequency to give characteristic noisy/-

complex tones. Since the LFOs cannot run at high

audio rates (due to hardware limitations) digital

aliasing artifacts will be heard when at higher fre-

quencies, especially if the LFO waveform is not a

sine wave. Consider this an audio effect rather

than an error!

[TIP] When the LFO is synced to note-on or

arpeggiator then you can choose the standard or

phase-shifted waves depending whether you want

to the wave to start from the peak or mid-range

value at the sync event.

9.4 Dedicated Low-Frequency Oscillators (LFO)

This LFO is unique to each parameter page. In other words,

every

parameter page has it’s own unique LFO. This allows

highly complex LFO modulations to each characteristic of

the patch.

To change the LFO waveform press

[BUTTON-LFO WAVFORM]

for local LFO then use the [ROTARY ENCODER] , or press

[BUTTON-UP]

or

[BUTTON-DOWN]

, to change the waveform. The

current setting will be shown on the display. Press

[BUTTON-

UP]

and

[BUTTON-DOWN]

simultaneously to reset the wave-

form to a sine wave. See section

9.2

for a list of the avail-

able waveforms.

LFO frequency

Here the frequency of the dedicated LFO can be modified.

To change the frequency press

[BUTTON-FREQUENCY]

for lo-

cal LFO and then use [ROTARY ENCODER] or

[BUTTON-UP]

/

[BUTTON-DOWN]

.

In non pitch-tracking mode the frequency can be set from

0.001Hz – 452Hz (time period from 1000s to 2.2 ms). Press

[BUTTON-UP]

and

[BUTTON-DOWN]

simultaneously to reset the

frequency to 1Hz. The icon displayed is F.

In pitch-tracking mode the frequency can be offset from

-40.96 semitones to + 40.96 semitones in steps of 2 cents.

Press

[BUTTON-UP]

and

[BUTTON-DOWN]

simultaneously to re-

set to 0. The icon displayed is N or P.

Note that the dedicated LFOs cannot be synchronised to

the clock.

LFO modulation level

To control the strength of the dedicated LFO on the pa-

rameter page destination press

[BUTTON-LEVEL]

for local

LFO . Press

[BUTTON-UP]

and

[BUTTON-DOWN]

simultaneously

to reset the level to zero.

Dedicated LFO options

With an LFO parameter active (i.e. from either

[BUTTON-LFO

WAVFORM]

,

[BUTTON-FREQUENCY]

or

[BUTTON-LEVEL]

) press the

[BUTTON-LEFT]

or

[BUTTON-RIGHT]

button to access the more

advanced options.

Use the

[BUTTON-UP]

and

[BUTTON-DOWN]

buttons to choose

which LFO option to edit and the [ROTARY ENCODER] to

change the values. There are 6 options:

Output mode

NORMAL LFO output level is not modulated.

LFO-MOD-EG

MOD EG LFO level is modulated

(multiplied) by the active EG internal signal.

LFO-MOD-LFO-X

MOD LFOX LFO amount is modulated

(multiplied) by the active LFOx internal signal.
