LFO Parameter Blocks
The LFO parameters allow you to create a wide variety of modulation effects, using a low
frequency signal to regularly change the pitch, volume or timbre of the pattern. The LFO
can be used to make the sound warmer and more natural, or can be used to produce
wild special effects.
LFO 1 and LFO 2 can also be used as control sources (in
, etc.), giving you even greater editing flexibility.
• Depending on the setting of the selected pattern's
parameter, the LFO 1 and
LFO 2 blocks in the display may be different, with different sets of parameters. All LFO
parameters below are available on either LFO 1 or LFO 2; however, some parameters will only
be available on one of the LFO blocks, while the other block will have a limited parameter set.

• Parameter settings in italics above can only be selected by using the DATA DEC/INC buttons,
or by holding [shift] on the computer keyboard and using the cursor keys.
This determines the type of wave for LFO 1 or LFO 2. (The same settings are available
for both.) The wave set here determines the characteristics of the modulation applied to
the VCO (vibrato), VCF (wah) and VCA (tremolo).
• LFO 1 / LFO 2 SPEED
Range: 1 ... 256
This determines the speed of LFO 1 or LFO 2. (This parameter is the same for both.)
Higher values result in a faster LFO modulation. This is a global control in that it affects
all modulation destinations (VCO 1/2, VCA, VCF) equally.
• LFO 1 / LFO 2 VCO1
(LFO 1 / LFO 2 to VCO 1 – Oscillator 1 Pitch Modulation Depth)
• LFO 1 / LFO 2 VCO2
(LFO 1 / LFO 2 to VCO 2 – Oscillator 2 Pitch Modulation Depth)
Range: -127 ... +127
This determines the degree to which the LFO 1 or LFO 2 affects the selected oscillator's
pitch. This produces a vibrato effect, or a quavering, vibrating sound in the pattern, by
regularly modulating the pitch. Higher values result in a stronger, more pronounced
vibrato sound.
