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.
Assigning LFO Modulation Destinations
To assign a modulation destination for an LFO, proceed as follows:
1. Click in the “Mod Dest” box for one of the LFOs.
A pop-up menu appears in which all possible modulation destinations are shown.
All Sound parameters as well as most LFO and Envelope parameters are available
as destinations.
2. Select a destination, for example, 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 number of modulation destinations
for the LFO.
They are all 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 menu.
Assigning LFO Velocity Destinations
You can also assign velocity-controlled LFO modulation, that is, the modulation is
governed by how hard or soft you strike a key. Proceed as follows:
1. Click in the “Vel Dest” box for one of the LFOs.
A pop-up menu appears in which 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 modulation works.
