LFO
LFO: Low Frequency Oscillator
The LFO is a low frequency oscillator that creates a repeating cyclical signal to modulate the pitch,
sound and so on.
Depending on its target, the LFO can provide vibrato (PITCH); tonal changes to the Oscillators
(SHAPE); or wah-wah (CUTOFF) effects.
WAVE switch [SQR , TRI , SAW ]
The LFO can be set to a square wave ( ), a triangle wave ( ), or a sawtooth wave ( ).
MODE switch [1-SHOT, NORMAL, BPM]
Specifies the range of change and action for the LFO frequency.
1-SHOT: The LFO stops after a half-cycle from the time that the sound is played. The range of
change for the LFO frequency will be from 0.05 Hz–28 Hz.
NORMAL: The range of change for the LFO frequency will be from 0.05 Hz–28 Hz.
BPM: This synchronizes the LFO frequency to the sequencer’s BPM (beats per minute) set in each
program.
RATE knob [0...1023 / 4, 2, 1, 0, 3/4...1/64]
The RATE knob adjusts the frequency of the LFO.
Turning the knob to the right will increase the LFO frequency.
INT knob [0...511]
The INT knob adjusts the intensity of the LFO.
Turning the knob to the right will increase the LFO intensity.
Tip:
When turning the INT knob while holding down the SHIFT button, the LFO waveform will
be inverted. The setting range is 0– –511.
TARGET switch [CUTOFF, SHAPE, PITCH]
Selects the parameter where the LFO modulation will be applied.
CUTOFF: Modulation is applied according to the VCF CUTOFF knob setting.
SHAPE: Modulation is applied according to the SHAPE knob setting for the oscillator, which is
set in “LFO Target OSC” (p.34) of PROGRAM EDIT mode.
PITCH: Modulation is applied according to the PITCH knob setting for the oscillator, which is set
in “LFO Target OSC” (p.34) of PROGRAM EDIT mode.
