Menu: Program/Synth/LFO
Parameter: Legato
Value Range: On, Off
Legato mode keeps the trigger from restarting if you play in legato
fashion (i.e., you play a note before releasing the last note played).
Menu: Program/Synth/LFO
Parameter: Delay
Value Range: 0 – 30 Sec
This is the amount of time the LFO will wait before doing anything.
When the delay is set to 0 seconds, the LFO begins working right away.
Menu: Program/Synth/LFO
Parameter: Type
Value Range: Sawtooth, Pulse, Sine, Random
Sets the shape of the LFO. Take a look at the waveform on screen to
see a representation of your LFO.
Menu: Program/Synth/LFO
Parameter: Shape (only available when Type is set to “Sawtooth”
or “Pulse”)
Value Range: -100% to +100%
Shape lengthens and shortens the duration of square and saw wave
LFOs. This setting is sometimes referred to as “Pulse Width” on other
synthesizers.
Menu: Program/Synth/LFO
Parameter: Sync (Unavailable when Type is set to “Random”)
Value Range: None, 8 Whole Notes, 6 Whole Notes, 4 Whole
Notes, Triple Whole Note, Double Whole Note, Dotted Whole
Note, Whole Note, Dotted Half Note, Half Note, Dotted
Quarter, Half Note Triplet, Quarter Note, Dotted 8th Note,
Quarter Triplet, 8th Note, Dotted 16th Note, 8th Note Triplet,
16th Note, 16th Note Triplet, 32nd Note
Synchronizes your LFO to the tempo (see p. 37 for more about setting
your tempo). This is important for tempo-dependent effects like wah-
wah and vibrato.
Where are the Saw, Triangle, and Square
LFO types???
You can create down-saw, triangle, and up-
saw waveforms by selecting “Sawtooth” and
changing the “shape” parameter (see
below). To create a down-saw, set your
“shape” parameter to -100% whereas to
create an up-saw, set this parameter to
+100%. For a triangle wave, leave the
parameter set to 0%.
You can create a square wave by selecting a
“Pulse” waveform and setting the “Shape
parameter to 0% (see below).
