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 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, one LFO actually samples and
holds the values of the other LFO at the chosen frequency.
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, e. g. Filter Cut Off.
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 filter cutoff being modulated by the LFO.
4. Using the same basic method, you can add any num-
ber 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.
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, e.
g. beat increments of the sequencer tempo
in Cubase.
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
description.
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.
Voice In this mode each voice in the Part has its own indepen-
dent 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.
