Open the Modulation Matrix

Choose the source of the LFO1 on the A, B, C and D oscillator frequencies by clicking on
the points forming the intersection between the source (“LFO1”) and the four destinations
(“FREQ A, FREQ B FREQ C and FREQ D”). An orange point appears to confirm the
connection.

Select the Modulation Points

Set the modulation rate in the AMOUNT panel corresponding to this first horizontal line.
Click in the panel and scroll the mouse up for the minimum value (0).

Set the modulation rate in the AMOUNT panel

Connect the modulation wheel (source “MOD WHEEL”) to the modulation rate of the LFO1
(destination “LFO1 AMNT”). This allows you to make the LFO activity appear progressively
by increasing the modulation wheel. Set the rate of this modulation at 50.

The modulation wheel settings

The keyboard following (source “KEYBD”) is already connected to the FILTER cutoff frequency.
Thus,  the  sound  will  become  brighter  and  brighter,  eventually  making  it  sharp.    Decrease  the
cutoff frequency to half of the knob value.
