With the LFO depth set at 99, the modwheel and aftertouch will have no effect because the
LFO output is now at maximum. The default for this the MODWHL parameter is 30 so that
modwheel is instantly available for vibrato. AFT(ertouch) defaults to 00.
To change the MODWHL amount, press F1 and use the DATA wheel to set a value and to set
the AFT parameter, press F2 and use the DATA wheel to change the value.
NOTES REGARDING SETTING LFO1 MODULATION DEPTH
The master output of the LFO is set using the DEPTH control and this has to be set to
something other than 00 for there to be any effect (although you can use the modhweel to
introduce LFO1 modulation). This is mentioned because you may assign the LFO to a
destination and set that destination’s modulation level to maximum only to find that there is no
effect. The reason for this is that the DEPTH control is at 00 or the modwheel is not up.
A useful function of this master depth control is that in the case where you have applied LFO1
to several destinations and you wish to increase or reduce the level of modulation going to all
the destinations, you may change the modulation level to all destinations with just the one
DEPTH control instead of having to individually adjust every destinations’ modulation input
level.
Because it is felt that LFO1 will mostly be used for vibrato effects, the default in the PITCHMOD
page (see above) is set so that simply setting a value in LFO1’s DEPTH field will apply vibrato. If
you intend to use LFO1 for something other than vibrato (i.e. slow filter sweeps, panning,
amplitude modulation, etc.), then be sure to set the LFO1 parameter in the PITCHMOD1 page
to 00 unless you really want the sound of an American police siren!
MODULATING LFO1
As well as being a controller for other modules, LFO1 can also be controlled by other
controllers such as LFO2, MIDI controllers and/or the envelope generators, etc.. The next
pages allow this:
The functions are:
LFO1 RATE MOD This allows you to control the rate of LFO1 with another controller. The
default assignment is KEYBOARD so that you may affect the speed of
LFO1 across the keyboard range (for example, in a string sound, you
can go some way to replicating the fact that the violins’ vibrato is
normally faster than the cellos’).
LFO1 DEPTH MOD Here, you may use a controller to control the depth of modulation
coming from LFO1. Again, the default is KEYBOARD and it is possible
to have different depths of vibrato across the keyboard range.
NOTE: Using just a hint of keyboard control of LFO1 RATE and DEPTH can be put to good
effect in ensemble sounds such as strings, choir, synth pads, etc., as the LFOs will be
generating a slightly different vibrato speed and depth across the keyboard range thereby
enhancing the ensemble effect enormously.
