PMOD (Pitch Modulation): Adds a cyclical change to the
pitch by applying LFO frequency modulations to create a
vibrato effect. Higher values widen the range of the pitch
change.

FMOD (Filter Modulation): Adds a cyclical change to the
Low Pass Filter cutoff frequency by applying LFO frequency
modulations to create wah-wah type effects. Higher values
widen the range of cutoff frequency change.

WAVE: Selects the LFO frequency signal used for
modulation.

You can select from the following types:

SPEED: Sets the speed of the LFO frequency modulation.
Higher values increase the speed.

Tri (Triangle)

S&HTr (Sample &
Hold = random)

*S&HTr = Adds random changes to the pitch.
(NOTE: Triangle waves will be applied for the AMOD and FMOD.
Triangle wave is applied even if you select S&HTr for PMOD, when
controlling the PMOD with the Modulation Wheel.)

ELEM (Element)

*Default settings of each element depending on the selected voice.

REL TIME (Release Time): Determines the time it takes for a
sound to sustain after the key is released.

Settings:

AEG Atk Tm: -63 ~ +63
AEG Dcy Tm: -63 ~ +63
AEG Sus Lv: -64 ~ +63
AEG Rel Tm: -63 ~ +63

LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator)

This sets the parameters for the Low Frequency Oscillator
for each Layer voice. The LFO is an oscillator that generates
low frequency signals (below hearing range) which are used
to modulate certain aspects of the sound such as pitch,
volume or filter level. There are six parameters: AMOD
(Amplitude Modulation), PMOD (Pitch Modulation), FMOD
(Filter Modulation), WAVE, SPEED and PHASE INIT (Phase
Initialize).

AMOD (Amplitude Modulation): Adds a cyclical change to
the volume level by applying LFO frequency modulations to
create a tremolo effect. Higher values widen the range of
the volume change.
