PC2 Made Easy

Now strike a key and hold it, and try changing the value of LFO1 Rate to 2.00 Hz. You
should hear the vibrato slow down. If you move the mod wheel all the way up, you will
hear the LFO speed back up again as the vibrato gains in intensity.
Now press the >> button to see the LFO1 shape parameter. Try changing the shape and
listen to the variations in the vibrato. You will find that the changes are quite subtle,
since the amount of vibrato is limited in the program, but the changes are there.
There are two LFOs in the PC2, so you will also see LFO2 Rate and LFO2 Shape
parameters. In practical terms, however, the second LFO is rarely used for most
programs so changing the settings of these parameters will rarely give you any noticeable
end result. Sometimes, instead of LFO2, you will see the display say GLFO. In this case
the second LFO is used as a Global LFO, which, means that the settings of this LFO are
always the same for all layers in the program. If you do see a program with a GLFO,
then it is likely that LFO has been assigned to something and changing the values may
give you a noticeable change.
12. Finally we will save the program. You may wish to go back to some of the
parameters and edit them to your liking. Once you have a program you like, press the
Store button. The PC2 will ask if you want to save the Voice. Saving and/or renaming
are identical to the dialogs you see when saving a Setup, so we wonÕt go into details
here. Remember that the Layer Mutes donÕt apply to a saved program Ð once you call
up the program after exiting the editor, all layers will be active. So donÕt forget to check
all the zones in a program before saving it to make sure you have everything the way you
want it.
Note: If you simply call up a Program and press Store, because you want to save it to
another location without making any changes, you will get the Save Setup dialog. In
order to get to the Save Voice dialog, you need to first press one of the Sound Parameter
buttons.
