CHAPTER 23. LIVE INSTRUMENT REFERENCE 421
The Modulation tab offers an additional loopable envelope, plus three LFOs, all capable of
modulating multiple parameters, including themselves. Each LFO can be free running, or
synced to the Live Set's tempo, and LFOs 2 and 3 can produce stereo modulation effects.
LFO Attack (Attack)  This is the time needed for the LFO to reach maximum intensity. Use
this, for example, to gradually introduce vibrato as a note is held.
LFO Retrigger (Retrig)  Enabling Retrigger for an LFO will cause it to reset to its starting
point, or initial phase, on each new MIDI note. This can create hybrid LFO shapes if the LFO
is retriggered before completing a cycle.
LFO Offset (Offset)  This changes the starting point, or initial phase of an LFO, so that
it begins at a different point in its cycle. This can create hybrid LFO shapes if the LFO is
retriggered before completing a cycle.
LFO Rate < Key (Key)  Also known as keyboard tracking, non-zero values cause an LFO's
rate to increase relative to the pitch of incoming MIDI notes.
LFO Stereo Mode (Stereo)  LFOs 2 and 3 can produce two types of stereo modulation:
Phase or Spin. In phase mode, the right and left LFO channels run at equal speed, and the
Phase parameter is used to offset the right channel from the left. In spin mode, the Spin
parameter can make the right LFO channel run up to 50% faster than the left.
23.10.8 The MIDI Tab
The MIDI Tab.
The MIDI tab's parameters turn Sampler into a dynamic performance instrument. The MIDI
controllers Key, Velocity, Release Velocity, Aftertouch, Modulation Wheel, Foot Controller
and Pitch Bend can be mapped to two destinations each, with varying degrees of inuence.
