NN-19 SAMPLER

Waveform
LFO 1 allows you to select different waveforms for modulating parameters.
These are (from the top down):
Destination
The available LFO Destinations are as follows:
Sync
By clicking this button you activate/deactivate LFO sync. The frequency of the
LFO will then be synchronized to the song tempo, in one of 16 possible time-
divisions. When sync is activated, the Rate knob (see below) is used for setting
the desired timedivision.
Turn the knob and check the tooltip for an indication of the timedivision.
Rate
The Rate knob controls the LFO’s frequency. Turn clockwise for a faster modu-
lation 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 re-
sults.
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
| Waveform | Description
Triangle This is a smooth waveform, suitable for normal vibrato.
Inverted
Sawtooth
This produces a “ramp up” cycle. If applied to an oscillator’s
frequency, the pitch would sweep up to a set point (governed
by the Amount setting), after which the cycle immediately
starts over.
Sawtooth This produces a “ramp down” cycle, the same as above but in-
verted.
Square This produces cycles that abruptly changes between two val-
ues, usable for trills etc.
Random Produces random stepped modulation to the destination.
Some vintage analog synths called this feature “sample &
hold”.
Soft Random The same as above, but with smooth modulation.
| Destination | Description
Osc Selecting this makes LFO control the pitch (frequency) of the
sample patch.
Filter Selecting this makes the LFO control the filter frequency.
Pan Selecting this makes the LFO modulate the pan position of sam-
ples, i.e. it will move the sound from left to right in the stereo
field.
