About the waveforms
Most standard LFO waveforms are available for LFO mod-
ulation. You use Sine and Triangle waveforms for smooth
modulation cycles, Square and Ramp up/down for differ-
ent types of stepped modulation cycles and Random or
Sample for random modulation. The Sample waveform is
different:
• In this mode, the LFO actually makes use of the other
LFO as well.
For example, if LFO 2 is set to use Sample the resulting effect will also
depend on the speed and waveform of LFO 1.
Assigning LFO modulation destinations
To assign a modulation destination for a LFO, proceed as
follows:
1. Click in the “Mod Dest” box for one of the LFOs.
A pop-up appears with all possible modulation destinations are shown.
All Sound parameters as well as most LFO and Envelope parameters are
available as destinations.
The modulation destination pop-up.
2. Select a destination, e.g. Cut.
The selected modulation destination is now shown in the list. Beside the
destination, a default value (50) has been set. The value represents the
modulation amount.
• You can set positive and negative modulation values by
clicking on the value in the list, typing in a new value and
pressing the Enter key.
To enter negative values type a minus sign followed by the value.
3. Select a suitable LFO Waveform, Speed, Depth and
Sync mode.
You should now hear the Cut parameter being modulated by the LFO.
4. Using the same basic method, you can add any num-
ber of modulation destinations for the LFO.
They will all be listed in the “Mod Dest” box.
• To remove a modulation destination click on its name in
the list and select “Off” from the pop-up.
Assigning LFO velocity destinations
You can also assign LFO modulation that is velocity con-
trolled (i.e. governed by how hard or soft you strike a key).
This is done as follows:
1. Click in the “Vel Dest” box for one of the LFOs.
A pop-up appears with all possible velocity destinations are shown.
2. Select a destination.
The selected velocity destination is now shown in the list. Beside the
destination, a default value (50) has been set. The value represents the
modulation amount. See below for an example of how velocity modula-
tion works.
• You can set positive and negative values by clicking on
the value in the list, typing in a new value and pressing the
Enter key.
To enter negative values type a minus sign followed by the value.
3. Using the same basic method, you can add any num-
ber of velocity destinations for the LFO.
They will all be listed in the “Vel Dest” box.
• To remove a modulation destination click on its name in
the list and select “Off” from the pop-up.
LFO modulation velocity control – an example:
If you follow the steps above and select the Cut parameter
as a Velocity destination, the following happens:
• The harder you strike the key, the more the Cut parame-
ter will be modulated by the LFO.
• If you enter a negative value for the velocity modulation
amount, the opposite happens; the harder you play the
less the Cut parameter is modulated by the LFO.
