[3] KEY SYNC : Activates the sync of the polyphonic LFO to Note-On events. The start phase at
Note-On can be adjusted by the PHASE knob. If CLOCK SYNC is on the phase sync to the song
position will be disabled. If Keyboard Tracking is set to zero and this button is off the LFO be­
comes monophonic.
[4]
CLOCK SYNC : Activates the Clock Sync mode where the LFO Rate is rounded to multiples
of the tempo of the global clock (in quarters/beats) and the keyboard scaling does not apply.
If
KEY SYNC is off the phase of the LFO will be synced to the song position and the PHASE
parameter adjusts the phase offset to the song position.
[5]
SHAPE : Use the SHAPE knob to crossfade between different waveforms of the LFO. The
values below produce the following results:
▪
0 - Sine ( SHAPE knob in the far left position)
▪
1 - Triangle
▪
2 - Pulse
▪
3 - Random ( SHAPE knob in the far right position)
[6] SYM : The symmetry of the two ramps of the triangle waveform can be set here. Positive
values increase the speed of the rising ramp.
▪
+1 : falling sawtooth
▪
0 : symmetric triangle
▪
-1 : rising sawtooth.
[7] PHASE : When KEY SYNC is on, this knob determines the phase of the LFO at Note On.
▪
-1 : zero crossing of the falling ramp
▪
-0.5 : lower peak
▪
0 : zero crossing of the rising ramp
▪
+0.5 : upper peak
▪
+1 : zero crossing of the falling ramp.
[8] FADE : Fade-in time (in seconds). It controls the ramp-up of the LFO amplitude, which is
triggered by each Note-On.
