LFO1/2
SpecifieshowtheLFOswillproducecyclicchangesin
volume(tremoloeffect).
ThevolumewillbeaffectedbytheLFO(s)forwhich
yousetanLFO1Intensity, LFO2Intensityvalue.
Intensity(AMSIntensity)adjuststhedepthbywhich

AMS,LFO2AMS).
ForexampleifyousetAMStoJS‐Y(CC#02),tremolo
willbeappliedwhenyoumovethejoystickof
