Use vibrato to modulate oscillator pitch
1 Rotate the Vibrato knob to set the amount of vibrato (pitch modulation).
2 Click the Vibrato tab if the LFO is visible.
3 Select a vibrato waveform.
4 If the Sync switch is turned o, drag the Rate note to set the vibrato speed. If the Sync switch
is turned on, vibrato speed is controlled by the host application tempo. See Retro Synth LFO
and Vibrato.
5 If the (Vibrato) Sync switch is turned o:
•
Adjust the Via Amount slider to the right of the waveform graphic to set the maximum
modulation intensity (the highest vibrato speed).
•
Move your MIDI keyboard’s modulation wheel to change the vibrato speed. If you don’t want
to use your keyboard’s modulation wheel, click the Via pop-up menu to assign a dierent
MIDI controller.
