The two LFOs have identical parameters:
About the Sync Modes
The Sync modes determine how the LFO cycle affects the notes you play:
About the Waveforms
Most standard LFO waveforms are available for LFO modulation. You use Sine and
Triangle waveforms for smooth modulation cycles, Square and Ramp up/down for
different 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 also depends on the
speed and waveform of LFO 1.
Parameter Description
Speed This governs the rate of the LFO. If the sync mode is set to MIDI, the
available rate values are selectable as note values, so the rate is
synced to the sequencer tempo 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.
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 cycles continuously, and
does not reset when a note is played.
MIDI In this mode the LFO rate is synced in various beat increments to
MIDI clock.
Voice In this mode each voice in the Part has its own independent LFO
cycle (the LFO is polyphonic). These cycles are also free running –
each key down starts anywhere in the LFO cycle phase.
Key Same as Voice except that it is not free running – for each key down
the LFO cycle starts over.
