MONO. All voices’ LFOs will be in sync with each other.
POLY. Each voice’s LFO is independent. If you hold a chord, some
voices’ LFOs will be moving in one direction while others move in the
other direction. If the LFO Speed is being modulated (by one of the
envelopes, for example), the LFOs of each voice may be running at
different speeds.
KEYMONO. This is identical to MONO, but whenever a new note is
played, the LFO is re-triggered, instead of continuing from wherever it
may be in its cycle.
KEYPOLY. This is identical to POLY, but whenever a new note is
played, the LFO is re-triggered, instead of continuing from wherever it
may be in its cycle.
Setting the LFO Level
Buttons: [EDIT] [6-8]
Page: 5
Parameter: Level (00 to 99)
This is the base output level of the LFO. If you want to have a constant
value of vibrato, even without using the Mod Wheel or Aftertouch, set
LEVEL above 00. The Mod Wheel and Aftertouch can add to or
subtract from this base level.
Mod Wheel LFO Depth
Buttons: [EDIT] [6-8]
Page: 6
Parameter: MODWH>LFO (-99 to +99)
This sets how much the Mod Wheel will increase or decrease the LFO’s
Level. A positive value raises the level when the Mod Wheel is moved
up. Negative values will lower the level of the LFO as the Mod Wheel is
raised.
Aftertouch LFO Depth
Buttons: [EDIT] [6-8]
Page: 7
Parameter: AFTCH>LFO (-99 to +99)
This parameter sets how much the Aftertouch will increase or decrease
the LFO’s Level. A positive value raises the level as more Aftertouch is
applied. A negative value lowers the level as more Aftertouch is applied.
Scaling Modulation Sources [9 TRACK GEN]
The Tracking Generator (TG) is used to scale a modulation source. For
example, normally you could modulate the volume of a sound using
velocity; the harder you play, the louder the sound gets. The amount of
change in volume is equal to the change in velocity; this is called linear
control. If instead, however, you set the Tracking Generator’s input to
“velocity”, and then routed the Tracking Generator to the Amp (using
the Mod function), you can make your own customized velocity curve!
NOTE: Since the output level of the LFO
cannot be less than zero, a negative setting
of the Mod Wheel parameter will have no
effect unless there is LFO already occurring.
NOTE: For example, if Level is set to 10
and the Mod Wheel parameter (see the next
parameter) is set to 10, there will always be
some vibrato, and raising the Mod Wheel
will add more vibrato. On the other hand, if
the Mod Wheel parameter is set to -10,
raising the Mod Wheel to the top will cancel
out all vibrato.
