Fader 4: MODULATION TVA: F0h 41h 00h 42h 12h 40h 2nh 06h VV xx F7h  

Determine the 

influence of the LFO on amplitude filtering over time during the sustain of the sound. A minimum 
value means the LFO has no effect on amplitude, while a maximum value means the LFO causes 
pronouncd amplitude modulation, creating a noticeable tremolo effect. The factory default value is 
00h.

When DIP 7 is ON, the display contains the + character, and the faders function as follows:

Fader 1: + BEND:

 sets the pitch bend range in 12ET semitones. This is a pitch bending effect which 

controls the global pitch through the modulation parameter, achived by the following series of 
messages where VV is the value of fader 1:

F0h 41h 00h 42h 12h 40h 00h 05h (40h-VV) xx F7h

- master key shift

F0h 41h 00h 42h 12h 40h 2nh 00h 40h+(2*VV)  xx F7h

- modulation pitch control

F0h 41h 00h 42h 12h 40h 2nh 04h 00h xx F7h

- modulation pitch depth

The factoy default setting is +00.

NOTE: 

Because this method gives only 1 byte pitch bending precision, beyond a 

bend range of ± 01, the bending may not occur smoothly.

 

Fader 2: ELFO LEVEL: NRPN 01h 09h 

 Determine the level of a frequency modulation (vibrato) LFO 

applied to the source during the sustain portion of the waveform. A minimum value results in no 
modulation, while a maximum value results in very pronounced modulation, producing a vibrato 
effect. The factoy default setting is 00h.

Fader 3: ELFO RATE: NRPN 01h 08h 

 Determine the frequency of the vibrato LFO applied to the 

source during the sustain portion of the sound. A minimum value results in a slow vibrato, while a 
maximum value results in a very fast vibrato, or a pitch fluttering effect. The factory default value is 
00h.

NOTE: 

the state of fader 3 will have no effect on the sound unless fader 2 (ELFO) 

has a value higher than 00h.
