Waveform selector
The Waveform Selector button determines what waveform
is generated by the LFO.
Waveform Description LFO 1 LFO 2
*
* Note that the Modulation always starts at maximum amplitude level for the AMP destination
Square
Used for abrupt modu-
lation changes, suitable
for trills, distinct tremo-
los, etc.
Yes Yes
*
* Note that the Modulation always starts at maximum amplitude level for the AMP destination
Sawtooth
Used for ramp type
modulations.
No Yes
*
* Note that the Modu lation al ways start s at maximu m amp lit ude l e vel fo r the AM P dest inat ion
Inverted Sawtooth
Used for ramp type
modulations.
Yes No
*
* Note that the Modulation always starts at maximum amplitude level for the AMP destination
Triangle
Creates natural vibrato
effects and also used
for classic pulse width
modulation.
Yes Yes
*
* Note that the Modulation always starts at maximum amplitude level for the AMP destination
Stepped Random
Creates abrupt modu-
lation with random
intensity.
Yes Yes
*
* Note that the Modulation always starts at maximum amplitude level for the AMP destination
Smooth Random
Creates a smooth ran-
dom modulation.
Yes Yes
LFO Destination selector
The LFO destination determines what parameter is modu-
lated.
Destination Description LFO 1 LFO 2
fiLter
Modulates the Filter
Frequency parameter
(
freq
knob).
Yes Yes
res
Modulates the Filter
resonance parameter
(
res
knob).
No Yes
Pan
Modulates the dif-
ference in amplitude
between the left and
right output.
Yes No
Osc
MOd
Modulates the Oscilla-
tor Modulation Amount
parameter.
Yes Yes
shaPe
Modulates the Oscilla-
tor Shape parameter
(
shaPe
knob).
Yes Yes
Osc1
Modulates the pitch of
Oscillator 1.
Yes Yes
Osc2
Modulates the pitch of
Oscillator 2.
Yes Yes
aMOunt knob
The
aMOunt
knob sets the intensity of the modulation. A
setting of 0 will produce no modulation.
POLY
mode
In Poly mode each note has its own LFO. Poly mode is
activated by pressing the
POLY
button (
shift
+ Waveform
Selector button).
Poly mode is available to LFO 1 only.
F
sinGLe mode
With single mode activated, the LFO plays a single cycle
waveform once without repeating.
Single mode is available to LFO 2 only.
F
Modulation Envelope ( MOd env )
The Modulation Envelope is used to modulate various
parameters using an Envelope with Attack and decay or
release parameters.
Please refer to page 18 for general information on enve-
lopes.
attack knob
Use the
attack
knob to set the time interval of the Attack
part of the Envelope. With a setting of zero the Attack Level
will start instantly.
dec/reL knob
dependant on the
ar
setting, this knob has different func-
tions:
AR setting disabled
The
dec/reL
knob controls the time interval of the decay
part of the envelope.
AR setting enabled
The
dec/reL
knob controls the time interval of the release
part of the envelope.
ar button ( shift + Destination Selector but-
ton)
The
ar
button toggles the envelope Attack/release mode:
When disabled the
• dec/reL
knob controls the enve-
lope’s decay parameter. The envelope’s Sustain Level is
set to null.
When enabled the
•
dec/reL
knob controls the enve-
lope’s release parameter. The envelope’s Sustain Level is
set to full.
aMOunt knob
The Amount knob sets the intensity of the modulation.
A setting of 0 will produce no modulation.
•
A negative value will produce a negative modulation.
•
A positive value will produce a positive modulation.
