The included VST instruments
Master Volume and Pan
The master Volume controls the master volume (ampli-
tude) of the instrument. By default this parameter is con-
trolled by Envelope 1, to generate an amplitude envelope
for the oscillators.
The Pan knob controls the position in the stereo spectrum
for the instrument. You can use Pan as a modulation des
-
tination.
Modulation and controllers
The lower half of the control panel displays the various
modulation and controller assignment pages available as
well as the effect page. You switch between these pages
using the buttons above this section.
The following pages are available:
• The LFO page has two low frequency oscillators (LFOs)
for modulating parameters – see below.
• The Envelope page contains the four Envelope genera-
tors which can be assigned to control parameters – see
“Envelope page” on page 97.
• The Event page contains the common MIDI controllers
(Mod wheel, Aftertouch, etc.) and their assignments – see
“Event page” on page 98.
• The Effect page has three separate effect types avail-
able; Distortion, Delay and Modulation – see “Effects
(EFX) page” on page 99.
LFO page
The LFO page is opened by clicking the LFO button at the
top of the lower half of the control panel. The page con-
tains all parameters and the modulation and velocity desti-
nations for two independent LFOs.
Depending on the currently selected preset, there may al-
ready be modulation destinations assigned, in which case
these are listed in the “Mod Dest” box for each LFO – see
“Assigning LFO modulation destinations” on page 96.
A low frequency oscillator (LFO) is used for modulating
parameters, for example the pitch of an oscillator (to pro-
duce vibrato), or for any parameter where cyclic modula-
tion is desired.
The two LFOs have identical parameters:
About the sync modes
The Sync modes determine how the LFO cycle affects the
notes you play:
Parameter Description
Speed This governs the rate of the LFO. If MIDI Sync is activated
(see below), the available rate values are selectable as
note values, so the rate is synced to the sequencer tempo
in Cubase in various beat increments.
Depth This controls the amount of modulation applied by the
LFO. If set to zero, no modulation is applied.
Waveform This sets the LFO waveform.
Sync mode
(Part/MIDI/
Voice/Key)
This sets the sync mode for the LFO. See below for a de-
scription.
Parameter Description
Part In this mode, the LFO cycle is free running and affects all
the voices in sync. “Free running” means that the LFO cy
-
cles continuously, and does not reset when a note is
played.
MIDI In this mode the LFO rate is synced in various beat incre-
ments to MIDI clock.
