Section 6 — Standard Sound Parameters
20 ENSONIQ KT Musician’s Manual
The Noise Rate defines how frequently the levels will change. Low values will cause levels to
change very slowly; with high values the levels will change quickly. A rate value of zero will
select a different random level with each key down, but the level will not change for as long as
the key is held.

Depth/Dlay/Mod
Depth=99 Dlay=00 Mod=WHEEL
Depth Range: 00 to 99
Sets the “manual” level (or depth) of the LFO; in other words, it controls the initial amount of
LFO. The effect of any LFO modulator will be added to this amount.
Dlay Range: 00 to 99
Determines the time it takes for the LFO to go from zero to the level set with the Depth
parameter. This is useful for creating delayed vibrato, tremolo, etc. Higher values give longer
delay times. When the LFO rate is at zero, this will create a delayed ramp effect from zero output
to the current LFO depth.
Mod Range: Various
Selects a modulation source for LFO Depth from among the 15 available modulators. The effect
of any modulator assigned here will be added to the depth set with the LFO Depth parameter.

Wave/Restart
Wave = SINE Restart = ON
Wave Range: Listed below
Determines the waveshape of the LFO. There are seven possible values (shown on the next
page):
• TRIANGLE — this wave is commonly used to modulate pitch to produce vibrato.
• SINE — a pure fundamental frequency, more rounded in its peaks and valleys than the
triangle wave.
• SINE/TRI — a mixture of a sine and triangle wave, a somewhat pointy sine wave.
• POS/SINE — a positive-only sine wave.
• POS/TRI — a positive-only triangle wave useful for simulating vibrato on instruments like
the guitar where a player can only bend notes up.
• SAWTOOTH — commonly used for special effects.
• SQUARE — this positive-only square wave is useful for producing in-tune trill effects.
