8.5.7 VCF LFO FADER
• The VCF LFO fader controls the amount of VCF LFO modulation that will be
applied to the cut-o frequency value. You can select which LFO will be used
as the modulation source in the VCF PARAMETERS menu.
When the cut-o frequency is modulated by the VCF LFO, each note will be
aected by the shape and speed of the LFO. You can use this aggressively
to create a wah pedal type eect, or use it subtly to add movement and
variation to the program.
When no LFO MODULATION is applied, the lter cut-o frequency will stay
xed (unless other sources of modulation are applied).
The cut-o frequency setting can limit the modulation from the LFO. If the
VCF FREQ fader is already at its maximum setting, and the lter is already
wide open, then no positive modulation can take the cut-o frequency
higher.
The VCF LFO range is from 0.0% to 100.0%, and the default setting is
0.0% (O).
The fader position, current value, and stored value for the VCF LFO fader is
shown on the PROG screen. There is also a visualization of the LFO amount
(the arrows pointing left and right below the LFO-2 text) as shown below:
Note: The distance between the arrows represents the amount of LFO
modulation which is being applied to the lter cut-o frequency.
Shortcut Note: To change the VCF LFO source quickly, press and hold the
VCF EDIT switch. While holding the switch you can use the VCF LFO fader to
select the source LFO-1 or LFO-2. The following message will be shown to
give you guidance while holding the VCF EDIT switch: "Move LFO fader to set
Source."
8.5.8 VCF KYBD FADER
• The VCF KYBD fader controls the keyboard tracking of the VCF. The keyboard
tracking can be used to compensate the cut-o frequency of the lter,
depending on the notes being played.
It can prevent inconsistencies in the harmonic content caused by pitch
changes.
When the VCF KYBD fader is raised, the higher the note (above the middle
C) played on the keyboard, then the more the lter opens. At the same time,
the lower the note (below the middle C) played on the keyboard, then the
more the lter closes.
This modulation can be used to emulate the response of a natural
instrument, or used to creative eect.
The VCF KYBD range is from 0.0% to 100.0%, and the default setting is
0.0% (O).
The fader position, current value and stored value for the VCF KYBD fader is
shown on the PROG screen. There is also a visualization of the modulation as
a varying slope as shown below:
