Erica Synths LXR-02 Drum Machine Synthesizer - Manual (Page 12)

MODULATION PAGE (MOD)
The modulation page contains the velocity modulation parameters. Here you can turn
the velocity volume modulation on and off and route the note velocity to any synthesis
parameter you like. If the selected voice offers a second envelope, it's parameters can
be found on the modulation page as well.
FREQUENCY MODULATION PAGE (FM)
The FM page hosts the frequency, waveform and modulation amount settings for
the FM oscillators.
Drum 1-3, Snare
Displayed name Name Description
Fall time of the envelope. dec Modulation envelope decay
Variable slope from exp to
linear to logarithmic.
slp Modulation envelope slope
Amount of the velocity
modulation.
amt Velocity mod. amount
Can be either On or Off.
If activated the note velocity
controls the voice volume.
vol Velocity to volume modulation
The note velocity can be routed
to any voice parameter. Here you
can select the target from a list.
dsr Velocity mod. destination
> Controls how strongly the
envelope modulates its target.
> The envelope is hardwired to
the pitch. This parameter controls
the pitch modulation intensity.
> In FM mode the EG is
additionally hardwired to the FM
amount.
mod Modulation envelope amount
Clap, Hi-Hat
Displayed name Name Description
The note velocity can be routed
to any voice parameter. Here you
can select the target from a list.
dst Velocity mod. destination
Amount of the velocity modulation. amt Velocity mod. amount
Can be either On or Off. If
activated the note velocity
controls the voice volume.
vol Velocity to volume
modulation
Displayed name Name Description
FM mode: modulation amount
Mix mode: Mix ratio of the 2 OSCs.
amt Modulation amount
[mix ratio]
Coarse tuning of the FM oscillator
in semitones.
frq Frequency of the FM OSC
The waveform of the FM oscillator. wav Waveform of the FM OSC
FM mode: the main OSC is
modulated by the FM OSC
Mix mode: The main OSC and FM
OSC are mixed.
mod Oscillator mode
MORPH KITS
A morph kit is a normal kit that is loaded as morph target. Any kit can be loaded as
a morph target.
Loading
> Press LOAD + MORPH
> Select the preset number of the kit you want to load.
> Push the encoder.
> The morph sound is loaded.
> Please note that you won't hear any change if the morph parameter value is set to
zero.
> Use the morph parameter on the performance page to morph the current kit into
the loaded morph kit.
Saving
You can also save the resulting sounds from morph operations. Just press the
SAVE + MORPH buttons and save the sound as a new kit. Instead of the original
sound, the currently playing mixture of the 2 presets will be saved.
Did you know?
If morphing arbitrary presets is too drastic for you, try modifying your
favourite pattern just a little bit and save it to a new location. Now you
can control all tweaked parameters at once!
SONGS
The process to load and save songs is the same as described for the kits. Just use
the button combo Press LOAD + SONG or SAVE + SONG instead.
PATTERNS
Patterns are a special case as they have no name. Loading and saving is done in
a similar fashion like changing patterns in pattern mode.
Loading
> Press LOAD + PATTERN
> The screen will show “Select Pattern, Current: x”
> Now you can use the SEQUENCER and BAR buttons to select the pattern to load.
> If the sequencer is playing, the new pattern will start after the current pattern
has finished playing.
Saving
> Press SAVE + PATTERN
> The screen will show “Save Pattern, Current: x”
> Now you can use the SEQUENCER and BAR buttons to select where to save the
pattern.
> As soon as you press the SEQUENCER button, the display will show “success!”
and the pattern is saved.
PROJECT
The process to load and save project is the same as described for the kits. Just
use the button combo Press LOAD + PROJECT or SAVE + PROJECT instead.
Where Projects are special is in regard to the place where they are saved. All
previous datatypes are loaded from and saved to the non persistent RAM region
where the project data is located. Projects however are saved to the memory
card and are the only way to save kits, songs and patterns so they will be
restored after a power cycle. Projects are containers that are a collection of Kits,
Patterns, Songs and settings.
7.5. PATTERN GENERATOR MODE
The pattern generator provides an easy way to generate interesting poly rhythms
on the fly. You just have to set the desired pattern length and the number of
active steps to generate a new pattern using the euclidean algorithm.
