Rate
The Rate knob controls the LFO’s frequency. Turn clockwise for a faster modulation rate.
Amount
This parameter determines to what degree the selected parameter destination will be affected by the LFO. Raising
this knob’s value creates more drastic results.
Play Parameters
This section deals with two things: Parameters that are affected by how you play, and modulation that can be applied
manually with standard MIDI keyboard controls.
These are:
• Velocity Control
• Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheel
• Legato
•Portamento
•Polyphony
• Voice Spread
• External Controllers
Velocity Control
Velocity is used to control various parameters according to how hard or soft you play notes on your keyboard. A com-
mon application of velocity is to make sounds brighter and louder if you strike the key harder. By using the knobs in
this section, you can control how much the various parameters will be affected by velocity. The velocity sensitivity
amount can be set to either positive or negative values, with the center position representing no velocity control.
The following parameters can be velocity controlled:

Description
Amp This let’s you velocity control the overall volume of the sound. If a positive value is set, the volume will in-
crease the harder you strike a key. A negative value inverts this relationship, so that the volume de-
creases if you play harder, and increases if you play softer. If set to zero, the sound will play at a constant
volume, regardless of how hard or soft you play.
F. Env This sets velocity control for the Filter Envelope Amount parameter. A positive value will increase the
envelope amount the harder you play. Negative values invert this relationship.
F. Dec This sets velocity control for the Filter Envelope Decay parameter. A positive value will increase the De-
cay time the harder you play. Negative values invert this relationship.
S.Start This sets velocity control for the Sample Start parameter. A positive value will increase the Start Time
amount the harder you play. Negative values invert this relationship.
A. Attack This sets velocity control for the Amp Envelope Attack parameter. A positive value will increase the At-
tack time the harder you play. Negative values invert this relationship.
